Andy and Brad,

Try changing only the string assigned to msg and try this out...
To see it in action, http://www.ids.net/~pmccarty/

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Beginning of JavaScript Applet
function scroll_status(seed)
{
        var msg="Put YOUR MESSAGE IN HERE !!"
        var out = " ";
        var c   = 1;

        if (seed > 150) {
                seed--;
                var cmd="scroll_status(" + seed + ")";
                timerTwo=window.setTimeout(cmd,25);
        }
        else if (seed <= 150 && seed > 0) {
                for (c=0 ; c < seed ; c++) {
                        out+=" ";
                }
                out+=msg;
                seed--;
                var cmd="scroll_status(" + seed + ")";
                    window.status=out;
                timerTwo=window.setTimeout(cmd,25);
        }
        else if (seed <= 0) {
                if (-seed < msg.length) {
                        out+=msg.substring(-seed,msg.length);
                        seed--;
                        var cmd="scroll_status(" + seed + ")";
                        window.status=out;

        }
}
// -- End of JavaScript code -->

<BODY onLoad="timerONE=window.setTimeout('scroll_status(150)',25);">
