There is a way that sorta works.
While reading the file, eg 'NOTICE.BBS', at the end of NOTICE have :
[FILENEW]D:\MAX\MISC\NOTICE [LINK]D:\MAX\MISC\PAUSE
With PAUSE.MEC being simeply [PAUSE PAUSE PAUSE...]
In theory (since I've never tried this) it'll display the pauses if the file 
is new to the caller, otherwise they won't see them.
But yeah, it is an annoying problem - how do you get users to read notices? 
Esp the really important ones that are shown for two weeks with 'BBS Phone 
number will be changing on , new number will be xxx'?
I had a notice like that, and had a user phone me at home to ask for the 
number after the system moved - he called in 2-3 times a day and that notice 
was displayed for 2 weeks before the move :-(
Cya..
