Yeah, I was thinking of the FWD, but looking at complete log files I see that not every entry is forwarded to someone else. Unfortunately, the only constant between entries is that the next entry starts with the 4 digit time and position (which for this facility is always TMU). The only other constant is the keyword that starts the entry, such as WX: or METERING:. Even to colon isn't constant after the keyword.
I've asked the development team that works on the program to add keyword search to the reports we can generate from the command line, but even if they do it, it'll take over a year to get it in place. The government moves extremely slow when tinkering with stuff they consider "operational" to the National Airspace System, even when it doesn't have any effect on controlling aircraft!
Thanks again for the suggestions. I'll keep tinkering, but scripting isn't my strong point. I can program in Visual Basic, but that won't work on Linux

gethead
gethead(1) General Commands Manual gethead(1)
Name
gethead - Print FITS or IRAF header keyword values
Synopsis
gethead [-hptv] [-d pathname] [-n num] <FITS or IRAF file> kw1 kw2 ... kwn
Description
Print values of the specified keywords from the given image header. By default they are all listed on one line, separated by spaces. The
-v flag causes the keyword names and values to be printed, one keyword per line. To read keywords from a list of files, substitute @<list-
file> for the file names on the command line. To read a lot of keywords, put them, one per line, in a file and substitute @<keylistfile>
on the command line. If two @ commands are present, the program will figure out which contains file names and which contains keywords.
Options
-a List file name even if keywords are not found
-d Root directory for input files (default is cwd)
-e Output keyword=value's on one line per file
-f Never print filenames (default is to print them if more than one)
-g Output keyword=value's on one line per keyword
-h flag causes the keyword names to be printed at top of columns.
-n Number of decimal places in numeric output
-o OR conditions instead of ANDing them
-p Print full pathnames of files
-t flag causes the output to be in tab-separated tables with keyword column headings.
-u Always print ___ if keyword not found, event if only one keyword in search
-v Print output as <keyword>=<value>, one per line
