   Hello all,   
      
   I've been playing around with display files that are shown to a caller when   
   they start a Door app, before the app actually starts.  This is done by   
   creating the display file and putting it in /sbbs/text/menu/xtrn.  In my   
   example, I've made the file 'usurper.msg' and put it in that directory.  When   
   starting the Usurper door, that file displays as expected.  But, after it   
   displays there's a prompt there to "Hit any key".  When you do that, it   
   proceeds to start the door, again as expected.  I'd like that "Hit any key"   
   prompt to not happen.  I've put "@POFF@" at the top of that display file but   
   it seems to have no effect.  What is causing the prompt?  Any way to disable   
   that from happening?  Thanks for info.
