   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 .....   
      
    g0> The actual header is either in the prompts editor for the standard file   
    g0> listing or the template file for the full screen file listing.   
      
   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
