Customizing WINGs

2009-10-02 Thread Scarletdown
Has anyone ever been able to successfully change the welcome text on the Wings Display Manager? I need to change it to instruct the user to either press CTRL-ALT F8 to log in to a remote system, CTRL-ALT-F1 to log into a command prompt, or otherwise enter username and password to log in locally.
