hmmm....:  It does NOT work for me, on our 959 on 5.5 PP4.  I get:

[1] ECS.MK50:SETVAR HPMSGFENCE 3
                               ^
The variable value is out of range. (CIERR 8155)
[1] ECS.MK50:

....  if of course I start with HPMSGFENCE = 0.....  I almost
stumbled on this one;  first time I did:

[1] ECS.MK50:SETVAR HPMSGFENCE 1
[1] ECS.MK50:SETVAR HPMSGFENCE 2

before I did

[1] ECS.MK50:SETVAR HPMSGFENCE 3

....  at which point ERRORs and WARNings are turned off, so
you don't see that values > 3 are out of range....    :-)
....  anyway, if values > 3 work on Lee's machine, they must have
a patch above and beyond vanilla PP4 that we don't have...
