RE: Add separate initial instruction text file to VIBS write-in section

["Ken Clark" <ken@dieboldes.com>]

Not too difficult.  It worked that way initially, and then we changed it to
just one instruction clip because it didn't seem worth it.  We can
concatenate a VIBS_WI_Welcome with VIBS_WI_Instuctions at the beginning.
That is, until the user presses their first key.  Only VIBS_WI_Instructions
would repeat after that.  This is analogous to the main VIBS welcome and
instructions.

I have to ask though, what would this script actually say?  "Welcome to the
audio ballot write-in entry"???  Are you sure that is worth the breath?
