I am looking for this too. I believe you need to call that |DF (display file) or some such to accomplish this but I may be wrong. I use this only in prompts when wanting to display a specific ANS and then my prompt (or just ANS).

You could have one big ANSI, with pauses in it, so they display one after another.

On a somewhat related note in case you need it in the future, as per: https://wiki.mysticbbs.com/doku.php?id=whats_new_112

+ Mystic's random display file system now also will include letters a-z,
allowing up to 36 randomly selected display files per filename, up from
11. It works the same as before. If myansi.an1 exists, then Mystic
will randomly select any file that exists in the myansi.an0-myansi.an9
range or myansi.ana-myansi.anz range. For OSes with case sensitive
filenames, the extensions are always lowercased. They do not have to be
in any order, just .an1 has to exist to "trigger" the random system:

myansi.ans
myansi.an1
myansi.anz
myansi.an5

I use this for different, random, logoff messages:
- logoff.ans
- logoff.an1
- logoff.an2
- logoff.an3

Yes, we can do this... so... there are two .mps scripts that run on Mystic. One is RIGHT after connect; startup.mps I believe?? And another - gosh, tho, I don't know if I'm gonna remember it right now...

At any rate, one can modify those scripts with something like;

dispfile("filename")

Where "filename" refers to filename.ans, filename.asc...
Can someone else shout out the startup.mps and OTHER .mps that are called directly after connect and before prelogin???
