  8.         │   The idea came from sam boxer and i built it and improved  │

  20.         │    Take some time. So it counts the precentage of counting  │
  21.         │    The users and inserting them into the data file.         │
  22.         │                                                             │
  23.         │  ■ Including a Search option which most user listers dont   │
  24.         │    Include. The search is based on 1St/2Nd name, not like   │

  57.         │                                                             │
  58.         │    %USER%     - [How surprising] The user name.             │
  59.         │    %SEC%      - User security.                              │
  60.         │    %CITY%     - User City / Note.                           │
  61.         │    %NUMTIMES% - Number of times the user was online.        │

  69.         │    All macros MUST be written in CAPS!                      │
  70.         │    And ofcource u can use normal macros such as @systime@   │
  71.         │    And all others.                                          │
  72.         │    Since the ppe replaces the %MACRO% with the users data,  │
