Even better, using a few lines from logon.js v1.7 by Digital Man, you get:

//Start script//

console.clear();
var random_list = directory(system.text_dir + "menu/logoff*.*");
if(random_list.length)
	bbs.menu(file_getname(random_list[random(random_list.length)]).slice(0,-4));
	bbs.hangup();

//End Script//

This little tidbit can be used to display any random ansi.  You can sub 
bulletin*.* or whatever for logoff*.* and have a random bulletin or 
somesuch.

Thanks Digital Man!
