Use 'lharc l filename.ext'... so if the SFX is wham.com, use 'lharc l
wham.com'

The '!' file in a sfx (if any) is called a telop file, and is displayed
before a sfx is extracted. 

The real danger seems to be in imbedding ANSI sequences in a telop.
LHarc 1.13 has a switch for the sfx's that prevents the AUTOLARC.BAT
from being executed unless you tell it to, but the telop is merely
extracted to the screen. I use ANSI.COM as my screen driver, and size
the redefinition buffer to 0, so I need not worry about ANSI trickery.

That would be trivial... need only to mimic the usual display
accompanying a sfx disolving. (not nice... but trivial)
