"HeaderFile" may be what you are looking for.  This is what I use on Another 
Millennium BBS to display the ANSI pictures above the Max-generated menus.

To display Max\Misc\Menu_Hdr.MEC above a menu use:
    HeaderFile    Misc\Menu_Hdr

You can also display a MEX file (I use this so that I can select a random ANSI 
picture to display) using:  (to display Max\M\Menu_Hdr.MEX)
    HeaderFile    :M\Menu_Hdr

Note that if you clear the screen in the file you display above the menu, you 
may have to add some Press_Enter prompts after commands (or in the header file) 
to prevent the screen being cleared before callers can read it.
