When I finally get a few days of free time, I will get around to writing a
program that is run in the background from your login scripts that writes
to a fifo in the place of .signature

Basically it will open the fifo for writing, and write a file to the
fifo. Then close it (The reader sees this as the end of the file) then 
write to it again.    This could probably even be done using a shell script.
I may have to try both : ).
