I have seen several referances to this in the Beta Testing forums. The referances suggest that I can change the text by adding an entry to the Description.ext file. However, searchs of the forums and the tutorials yave not turned up any instructions on how to do this.
Does any one know?

Thanks,
Calamity.

Sure thing, Calamity...

First off, if you don't already have a description.ext file you'll need to make one.

It's simply a text file with the name changed. Pull out your most convenient text editor (generally notepad or wordpad), and save a text file with that name. Make sure you select 'all files' under the file type box, as otherwise it will add a .txt extension on the end.

The line you're looking to add is:

onLoadIntro="Your text here"

for the intro/outro, and

onLoadMission="Your text here"

for the mission.

You can throw that in anywhere and it should do it's thing... ;)

also a nice thing:
onLoadMissionTime = true/false
can turn the time that appears under the "Get Ready" when loading
the mission on or off.
same thing just before the intro:
onLoadIntroTime = true/false

Sui,
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thoes commands were not in any of my command referances. I double checked!. And Didn't find them in the forums either.
I've tested both of them and they work exactly as advertised.

Thanks!
Calamiy out...
