Actually, this will monitor for any escape message beginning with CPA or
CPF. CPA9999 doesn't do anything, since you've already monitored for all
CPA messages.

CPA4067 would be an inquiry message.  You can use the system reply list or
a message queue monitor program to respond to inquiry messages, but MONMSG
will not help you.
