Hmmm, ok ... well I use it as a header ;) - I found the problem why it was not working, the name in the field and filename must be in caps (Linux) and the extension in lower case .....

Yeah, but I want to show a unique header in every file area. 

But it is working now except for 1 thing. If I don't add a pause at the end of the file (header) it's not visible for user. That means, the file lister doesn't add the number of lines of the header to the file listing length. So in my case (24x80) the first page should be 5 (header) + 1 (actual file list header) + 18 (listing+prompt). But its 5 + 1 + 23 .... I am using the normal file list type ;)

Greets!

... When all else fails, read the instructions
