Whenever the workstation signs on, use a break message handling program
that receives all messages and forwards them to the WS msgq.  But this
program also looks for a specially coded "deallocate" message, and when
it receives it, it releases the message queue.  Then setup another
program that will send the coded message, then clear the messages.
 

Gee Art, seems like a lot of work just to delete a message from the user's message que !  Plus messages have to be removed from the user's que!  I like that specially coded "deallocate" message though, got an example handy?   I would really like to deallocate the user's message que from any display signed on by the user, so deleting messages become possible instead of the dreaded CPF2417.
