There is a program on the VAX86D DECUS tape to do this.  It is not
very sophisticated,  but would probably give you an idea of how to
write such a program.  Following is a section of the documentation
on the program:

    The following two programs are user message logging utilities  written
  in  VAX  C.  REPLY will log any messages sent to your terminal to a file
  and issue a reply message to  the  sender.  The  reply  message  can  be
  specified when  the  program  is  executed,  or a default message can be
  used.  MESSAGE,  based on REPLY,  runs as a "background program"  (using
  spawn/nowait),  and  simply  logs  all  received  messages to a log file
  before printing them to  the  screen.  This  could  be  useful  if,  for
  example,  you  receive a message just before the screen clears (as often
  happens in a screen editor, graphics package, etc).

I can send you a copy of the program if you want me to.  Let me know.
