Not to be picky, but all three bring up *a* login screen, not *the* 
login screen (because there are more than one in all systems).  In 
this case it's the screen associated with logging in to one's patron 
record (pverify_web.html), which is the file you need to 
edit.  (FWIW, if you view the source code of a page and do a find in 
page for "this is", you should see an HTML comment that tells you 
what file is being used to generate the page.)

See the manual page for pverify_web.html (107019).  The patform token 
writes the entire patron verification form (seems odd that it would 
include the campus creds piece if you don't have the external patron 
verification product), but you can ditch that and use other tokens 
(see the "For advanced customization of the form" section).  In which 
case, don't include the extpat tokens.
