Is this what your looking for?

$ ./messg4 -listdevices coco3
 SYSTEM      DEVICE NAME (brief)   IMAGE FILE EXTENSIONS SUPPORTED    
----------  --------------------  ------------------------------------
coco3        printer     (prin)     .prn  
             cassette    (cass)     .wav  .cas  
             floppydisk0 (flop0)    .dsk  .os9  .vdk  .dmk  
             floppydisk1 (flop1)    
             floppydisk2 (flop2)    
             floppydisk3 (flop3)    
             cartridge   (cart)     .ccc  .rom  
             snapshot    (dump)     .pak  
             harddisk    (hard)     .vhd  



Add a hyphen to the brief device name to specify it on the command line.
Like this:

$./messg4 coco3 -flop0 disk.dsk
