You could modify the message catalog, CATALOG.PUB.SYS. I believe
the TELL messages are in set 7, and you could remove the "!"
inserts. This is not really a good suggestion since your changes
will be overwritten the next time you update.

You could use a file equation to the terminal's LDEV and write
to it, but the terminal can not already be opened.

I am sure others have ideas here.
