Don't mean to hijack your post, but what yer wanting to do sounds exactly like what Mystic's built-in File Base 'Display File' does.

In any file base, just edit it and insert a filename is 'Display File'... this shows right after the user presses 'L' and then prompt 041 comes after that. I like it because I can add a PA mci code and let the user take in whatever the Display File is telling the user. 

Is this a fix for what yer trying to do???

I also heavily use fgroupX.ans, which displays an ASC/ANS file when a user joins a File Conference. (And groupX.ans, which is the same - but for Message Conferences.)

Again, sorry if I misunderstood - just sounds like exactly what you described above.
