Need help! fixing 'scrolling news box'

[wxdqz]

Well, I have to admit that I've achieved the following code inspiring myself from others'works (more or less thru a copy/paste/edit/adapt process)... I just started to learn javascript a week ago though!

My problem is the following, I've made a 'scolling news box' for the main page of my site, but I would like to change something and realised that I couldn't find how to do this...

I would like the first line of text to appear only once (on Loading) and then the 3 other messages to be repeated!

I'll post my code here (some of it is in french -that's more or less what I edited-).

Could someone who knows more about Javascript than I do have a look at it and edit what must be edited to have the first message appear only once???

CODE:

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
.ejs_scroll {font-size:10px;font-family:Arial;color:#00ff00;font-weight:bold;}
</STYLE>

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
<!--

ejs_scroll_largeur = 200;
ejs_scroll_hauteur = 100;
ejs_scroll_bgcolor = '#808080';
ejs_scroll_background = "pics/bgnews.jpg";
ejs_scroll_pause_seconde = 5;

ejs_scroll_message = new Array;

ejs_scroll_message[0]='<SPAN STYLE="color:#00ff00;">--- LOADING ---</SPAN></FONT>';
ejs_scroll_message[1]='<a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"green/index.html"><SPAN STYLE="color:#00ff00;">The'DG-Operation: Struggle Within' site is now online.<BR>Check it now!</SPAN></FONT></a>';
ejs_scroll_message[2]='<a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"yellow/index.html"><SPAN STYLE="color:#00ff00;">New items have been added to The Warehouse.<BR>Text, video, images, it\'s all there!</SPAN></FONT></a>';
ejs_scroll_message[3]='<SPAN STYLE="color:#00ff00;">More information to come soon.<BR>Be seeing you!</SPAN></FONT>';
