       THE USER DATABASE
       ------------------------------------------------------------

       The  user file is possibly the most important single file on
       your BBS.  It contains all the information about each user's
       history, screen settings,  and vital security  data.  To use
       the user editor  fire up RACONFIG and  select Users from the
       Manager menu.  This  editor  allows  you  to add,  modify or
       delete any  user's record.  If  there are already some users
       in the user-file,  you will be presented with a list showing
       each user's  name,  location and  security  level.  Select a
       user either by typing in the name,  or moving the  highlight
       bar to the entry on the screen and pressing RETURN.

       After  the  user is selected you will be presented with  the
       Edit Screen.  This lists the entire user's record which  can
       be modified and saved if you wish.

       If  there  are no users already in the user-file,  the  Edit
       Screen will appear immediately for you to enter the  details
       of  the  first user.  Note that the only required  piece  of
       information (or "field") is the name,  and you can't proceed
       any further until you enter one.  You'll want to be included
       in  the  user file,  so enter your own name in  this  field.

       After entering the user name,  you may continue to enter all
       fields.    When  you have finished  editing the  user record
       press  [CONTROL-ENTER]  to  save  the information  and  then
       ESCAPE to exit. If you don't want to save, just press ESCAPE
       by itself.


       The following keys can be used to assist  you in editing the
       user database:


          [INS]    This allows  you to add a new user, when pressed
                   in the  user list  screen,  a blank record  will
                   be created for you to  edit.

          [DEL]    Deleting a user  is accomplished  by  moving the
                   highlight bar to the user you want to delete and
                   pressing the DEL  key.  A marker  will appear in
                   the right hand column to  signify that the  user
                   is marked for deletion. Note that the user isn't
                   actually  removed  from  the user  file at  this
                   stage.  Users that have been marked for deletion
                   are  removed  by  packing  the user-file,  which
                   should be  done  regularly  using   the  utility
                   RAUSER.

          [ALT-S]  If you  want  to search  for a  particular  user
                   record to  edit,  you can  press ALT-S,  you are
                   then prompted for the search criteria at the top
                   of the screen.

       You can  run the user editor directly   without having to go
       through the RACONFIG menus by entering "RACONFIG -U".
