In the NetRPG Folder appears a NetRPG Preferences file, which you can edit with a text editor. Also, characters go in the NetRPG Characters folder that's in there.
Making a new character:
Open up TeachText or some other text editor. Make a new file with Command-N. Type the character's password on the first line of the file (A single word is usually good) and then save the file with the characters online name. I mean, if the character is Sir Gawyn De Fibrilos, with a nickname of just Gawyn, save the file as Gawyn. (capitalization doesn't matter).
Logging in as a new character:
Players connecting to the server see a "Login:" prompt. They type their name (like "Gawyn" for instance) and then they are prompted for a password.
Character sheet commands:
/ADD line - adds 'line' to your character info (on disk at the server) NOTE: Lines beggining with a '-' are invisible to other players.
Example Character Entry Session:
/add Lupus Half-Elf Ranger Lvl:5 XP for next level:64,000
/add - XP=47,000 HP=56 (+roll for 6th level)
/add STR:17 DEX:17 CON:17 INT:10 WIS:14 CHA:5
/add +=+ ABILITIES/PROFICIENCIES +=+
/add 2 Handed fighting in studded leather or less, Tracking @ +1 per lvl > 3rd
/add Creature Empathy, Followers @ 10th, Set snares/Traps, Blind Fighting
/add +=+ WEAPONS +=+
/add Black Morning Star - create darkness 2 per wk, 10'rad,wielder can see thru
/add +2/2/2 2d4+3/1d6+4 THACO=13 SPD=3
If another player types "/who Lupus" they would see:
=+= Character Sheet for [lupus] =+=
1 Lupus Half-Elf Ranger Lvl:5 XP for next level:64,000
2 STR:17 DEX:17 CON:17 INT:10 WIS:14 CHA:5
3 +=+ ABILITIES/PROFICIENCIES +=+
4 2 Handed fighting in studded leather or less, Tracking @ +1 per lvl > 3rd
5 Creature Empathy, Followers @ 10th, Set snares/Traps, Blind Fighting
6 +=+ WEAPONS +=+
7 Black Morning Star - create darkness 2 per wk, 10'rad,wielder can see thru
But the DM or Lupus would see:
=+= Character Sheet for [lupus] =+=
1 Lupus Half-Elf Ranger Lvl:5 XP for next level:64,000
2 - XP=47,000 HP=56 (+roll for 6th level)

Character Sheet Editing:
/AFTER # line - adds 'line' after line #. To insert at the beginning, use /after 0 blah
Example sheet:
1 Name
2 Abilities
/after 1 HP=5
Gives:
1 Name
2 HP=5
3 Abilities
/DELETE,/DEL # - deletes line number # from your character.
/WHO name - prints out that player's character info. So, "/who gawyn" will send gawyn's public character sheet to you, or send all of it if the DM typed it.
/ME - aliases to "/who my_name" and shows your character
