If all your doing is outputting the contents of a file into the status window, you might as well just use /play.
Add the alias to your remotes, this editing 'Private' to make it look how you like.
alias pfile { echo -s Private; $3- }
And the following is the command to output the file to the status window.
/play -sa /pfile test.txt
This allows you to add a number to the edit specifying how fast you want it to play, by default its set to 1000ms.
