I'd probably not load (file_to_string) the startup screen in db.c, but save
it for interpreter.c.
In there I'd put a switch/case something like:
switch (number(1,4)) {
case 1:
file_to_string(LIB_TEXT"screen1", &GREETINGS);
case 2:
file_to_string(LIB_TEXT"screen2", &GREETINGS);
...
}
Or something like that. <insert standard disclaimer here>
