Hi Steven

You should be able to do what you want in CL. I've a CL & DSPF combination 
that monitors a program message queue as well as 'messages' arriving on a 
data queue which runs in auto-refresh mode. It fakes a subfile by using a 
full screen message subfile, which CL is quite happy with. You should be 
able to tweak them as required. See http://www.dbg400.net/samples.html - 
in the QMHSNDPM article in the Usenet section
