Yea, there are tons of codes to set the baud rate (rate of display for an ANSI file)... lemme grab a link:

http://wiki.mysticbbs.com/doku.php?id=displaycodes&s[]=display&s[]=codes

Thats ALL of them... if you scroll down you'll find the DI## section. It talks about all the settings available to slow down rate of display using baud settings:

 DI## - Sets the baud rate emulation of the current display file, using the
        following scale:

          00      = No baud emulation (full speed)
          01 - 09 = 300 baud
          10 - 19 = 1200 baud
          20 - 29 = 2400 baud
          30 - 39 = 4800 baud
          40 - 49 = 9600 baud
          50 - 59 = 19200 baud
          60 - 69 = 28800 baud
          70 - 79 = 38460 baud
          80 - 89 = 57600 baud
          90 - 99 = 115200 baud

This is another suggestion, that might be a little off-topic but has been really helpful to me. I like to throw a stock Mystic install in some /other directory. This is just a bone-stock Mystic install and for me is used because... I edit the HECK out of my Mystic install, and after so much prompt editing and file editing sometimes I can't find the 'original' prompt or ANSI file, because I have changed so many things. So having a stock install in /mystic2 or wherever is helpful, so that I can go over to a completely stock install. 

Might be helpful if you continue to edit the heck out of your BBS. :P

Hope the baud rate codes help; you just add them to the top of your ANSI file, or... sometimes you can enter like @19200 on the end of a menu command that accepts those type of parameters; like in an ANSI gallery viewer or when displaying a file.
