Simple. Run ANS2BBS on the file (ANS2BBS path\AMU.ANS MISC\AMU.BBS) then in 
your WELCOME.MEC add
[LINK]MISC\AMU
[ENTER]
This will call AMU.BBS (or whatever you call it/them) from WELCOME, then it 
will add a 'Press ENTER to continue' to the end of the file to stop it 
scrolling off before the user has a chance to read it (but they'd probably 
skip it anyway, IME :-(
Cya..
