Use FEdit/MacTools to search for the ascii string that you want to change.
I'm pretty sure it's in the System file, and probably in the resource fork.
Note that the replacement string will have to be as long or shorter than
the given string ("Welcome...").

If anybody doesn't understand this, feel free to reply.
