  Process USR File
     Use to process a USR file. Users aren't
     created or deleted until the USR file is
     processed.
     Errors are reported as the file is

     matching RPT file. If there are no
     errors, the file is processed.
 Create USR File                    Help 1 of 7
  Use this to create a USR file so MAKEUSER can

 To create the USR file, use keywords and their
 variables to create users and assign user
 rights and restrictions, or to delete users. 
 The next screens list the keywords and their
 variables and give guidelines for using them.o
