I want to use SYS$BRKTHRU in a Fortran program.  I want to use it to to send
messages to various users who are logged in.  I can't seem to get it to work.
The following sample program is designed to send a message to myself when
executed.  It doesn't work.  Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?  I would
appreciate any help that I could get.

Thanks!
