adding ansi art to login prompt

I have an ANSI data file with some artwork I want to display before the login prompt on my BBS. What exactly do I do to get it to display?

So far I have tried using WGSRUNMT to edit the menus on my board, and I have tried creating a "File Page" pointing to the data file on my hard drive, but I don't see any way to get it to show up before the login prompt.

Is there a setting in the General Settings tool or Edit Text Blocks tool? I looked through the sign up and account diplay tree and didn't see anything that was obvious.

Thank you so much for your help.

I thought you meant main menu for the ansi.

Under utils/Edit Text Blocks/Core Text Blocks. There is several there to play with. I have tried and would crash the server with mine. But I know it works. So play with those and give it a go. You can start with HELLOGN or ENTUSID.

edit the HELLO text block in text block editor under core text blocks
in the ansi editor you can choose to insert an ansi file
