Thanks Brian,

You understood fine, but was unable to get text to appear with your
suggestion. Does your picture/graphic cover the entire splash window? I was
using _otherUserInit with PRINT (which worked in FB2). Tried DEF LBOX, but
it still didn't work.

But!, after a lot of trialing and erroring, was able to add registered users
name to the splash window.

FWIW, here's what worked for me...

In PG:
  - create a userItem in the splash window
  - create a EF on top of the userItem
  - paste the graphic splash window, then "send to back"

In FB^3 editor (v3.2.1):

CASE _otherUserInit : EDIT$(_splashEF) = gUserName$    'simplified example
