Windows filepro splash screen

Is there any way to get rid of the splash screen in Windows filepro when
moving from one menu to another when a script is used for the calling menu?

I am creating custom menu system on Windows, and the software requires me to
set PFQUAL going into each part of the application, which I would like to do
within menu scripts, since I am mixing new parts of the application that do
not expect a qualifier with ones that do (and I want the options as close to
each other as possible).  I don't want to modify the application - I just
want to call some original menu options from a custom menu.

I see that if I use ! in front of the called menu in Windows, the splash
screen is bypassed.  But since I need the script to set PFQUAL via scripts
followed by a "p <menuname>" call for some options, then I see no way to
bypass the splash screen when the operator is just trying to navigate
through secondary menus.  Have I missed something?  Or is this one of those
fp Windows inconveniences?
