Fergit what I said in the last message. I got to playing around with
things here and tested menu option 38 (view text file) to see if it'd
solve your prob and the dang thing worked!

 What I did was to create a dummy dir in my files area, made a small
txt file, imported the file w/ Ezyadopt, and then created a menu
with option 40 to display the ANSI/ASCII menu screens and option 38
for the text file display. Both options have to have automatic set
to Y for this to work.

 Formatting is a bit weird though. The only way to abort the process
is to press enter at the prompt, but with a comment at the bottom of
the menu telling the user to do this, and then what key to press to
get back to the main menu, I think you'll be in business.

 The nice part about it is the user -has- to type in the filename!
You can use .EXTs on the data files or not (heh, I didn't.. :), so
these files you want to display can have up to an 8 digit
alpha/numerical filename.

 Also noted that the 'More Y/N' prompt showed on a test where I
called the backbone.na file from the prompt, but then I have that
turned on for my account, so anyone who has it off might get a lesson
in speed reading. 

 BTW, put the user security for the area at 1 higher than Sysop and
the bulletin dir -won't- show on file area scans, but the users will
*still* be able to access the file(s).
