          A    This option defines the Description of the Subscription Level.

          B    This option defines the security level (SL) of the user.

          C    This option defines the download security level (DSL) of a
               user.  The DSL is basically the same as SL, except that it is
               normally used in the file transfer area.

          D    This option defines the area flags (AR flags) for a user.

          E    This option defines the access flags (AC flags) for a user.
               While AR flags are definable in what they mean, AC flags have
               a certain set meaning that is listed below. These flags are
               normally used to restrict a user from doing certain functions
               that override the System Configuration. (1, 2, 3 and 4 are used
               to "reward" the users because they override certain ratios.)

                    The flags are:

                       LCVBA*PEKM/1234


               Penalty Flags:
               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
               L    Can logon ONLY once/day -- Does not allow a given
                         caller to have more than one BBS logon in a given
                         day.

               C    Can't page SysOp -- Does not allow the caller to use
                         the chat command throughout the BBS.

               V    Posts marked unvalidated -- Marks all public messages
                         as "unvalidated" until the SysOp decides to
                         either validate or delete them.

               B    Back/downspacing restricted -- Back/downspacing is a
                         Renegade MCI subset that allows the user to do
                         various "tricks", such as spinning the cursor and
                         moving the cursor all over the screen.

               A    Can't add to BBS list -- This flag prevents the caller

               *    Can't post/send anon. -- This flag prevents the caller
                         from being able to post public or Email messages
                         anonymously.

               P    Can't post at all -- This flag prevents a user from
                         posting any messages in any message base.

               E    Can't send Email -- This flag prevents the caller from
                         sending any Email to another user.

               K    Can't vote -- Does not allow the caller to have access
                         to the voting booth.

               M    Mandatory Reply or Deletion of E-Mail.  User must either
                         read and reply to his/her mail, or delete it.

                         upload/download ratio check.

               2    No post/call ratio check -- This flag will nothing!!  It

               3    No file points check -- This flag will suppress the
                         checking of a user's file points when requesting a
                         download of a file.

               4    Protection from deletion -- This flag will prevent a
                         user's account from being deleted.

          F    This option sets the initial number of file points awarded
               to the user.

          G    This option sets the amount of credit the user gets in their
               account.

          H    This option sets the amount of days that the user account
               will remain at the current subscribtion level. (See I).

          I    This option sets which Subscribtion level the user will expire
               to after their level expires. (See H).

          K    This option toggles if the AR Flag upgrade will be Hard or
               Soft.

          L    This option is the same as (K) except it toggles the AC Flags.

          M    This option sets the starting menu for the user at the current
               subscription level.
