 *************** Beginning of data ************************************* 
I wrote this to send messages to all my sessions. I got tired of being
unaware that there was a message waiting for me on another session. I
attached this cl to my message queue using the PGM parameter on the
CHGMSGQ command. I set my message queue to break (not sure it will work
otherwise). 
I set up a data area named SESSIONS that keeps track of the sessions I
am logged onto, and on called SESCNT that keeps a number of sessions.
You can modify this to work with QSYSOPR's message queue. But I will
leave that up to you.
