Do you mean you want a text message displayed when you SSH or log into the box via a command line? Or that you want a text file to be opened up when you login to a desktop environment? If the latter, which?
You can change the message displayed when you login to the console quite easily, or you could put something into ~/.kde/Autostart if you wanted to load something when you login to KDE, for instance. Gnome has a similar configuration option to allow you to load a program on login, IIRC.
Depends entirely on what you want ...

I want to have a text file appear on firing-up any of the boxen - two running Debian and the other, Xandros.
Not sure where to search in / so I'm saving time - with any luck.
The idea is to (first, remember to) make a note of future appointments, jaunts, meetings, reminders to do things, etc., so I can ignor^h^h^attend to them and erase jobs done, etc..
