Even easier than writing a program, why not just use an existing
program?  Try issuing the SEND command from inside TPU, via the TPU DCL
command.  The messages which you want will appear in the MESSAGES
buffer.  Note that any error messages such as _No such node nnnn
defined_ will appear in the DCL buffer.  Note also that such RSCS
messages will contain a BELL character.  However, since you're already
in TPU, it's easy to edit the stuff to your heart's content.
