    Widgit,

    any ideas please

    I am looking for this too. I believe you need to call that |DF (display file) or some such to accomplish this but I may be wrong. I use this only in prompts when wanting to display a specific ANS and then my prompt (or just ANS).

    You could have one big ANSI, with pauses in it, so they display one after another.

    On a somewhat related note in case you need it in the future, as per: https://wiki.mysticbbs.com/doku.php?id=whats_new_112

    + Mystic's random display file system now also will include letters a-z,
    allowing up to 36 randomly selected display files per filename, up from
    11. It works the same as before. If myansi.an1 exists, then Mystic
    will randomly select any file that exists in the myansi.an0-myansi.an9
    range or myansi.ana-myansi.anz range. For OSes with case sensitive
    filenames, the extensions are always lowercased. They do not have to be
    in any order, just .an1 has to exist to "trigger" the random system:

    myansi.ans
    myansi.an1
    myansi.anz
    myansi.an5

    I use this for different, random, logoff messages:
    - logoff.ans
    - logoff.an1
    - logoff.an2
    - logoff.an3
