Very simple:

        script pre.txt; load XXXX.cif {444 666 0}


and the script file:

        ###########
        # pre.txt #
        ###########
        zap;
        set echo middle center;
        font echo 18 sanserif bold;
        color echo navy;
        echo Loading molecule|It could take a while||Please wait...;
        delay 0.1;


I'm not sure if the "zap" and "delay" are still needed.
