Registry of Users
-----------------
The registry allows you to put information online for other users to
view. This is optional. You may want to remain confidential or
anonymous on the BBS and there's usually no penalty for doing so. By
the way, the questions you answered when you signed up are for the
Sysop only. See him or her if you have any confidentiality concerns.
When you create your own entry in the registry, you type in the answers
to several questions. The operator of the BBS can configure his own
set of questions. The last one is always a "summary" question. If you
don't want to answer a question, you can always enter "N/A".
You can scan a list of users alphabetized by User-ID, and see their
summary lines. Also, you can look up other users directly by User-ID.
Of course, you'll only see information on users who have voluntarily
answered the registry questions.
D - Directory Search
Use this command to list out the users that have answered the registry
questions. You may start anywhere in the alphabet you please, and only
the User-ID and summary line will appear for each user.
L - Looking up Another User
This is used to look up a specific user's registry. You will be able
to view the user's answers to all registry questions. If you don't
know the exact User-ID you want to look up, just enter what you know,
and the BBS will try to find an exact match for you.
Y - Creating or Editing Your Entry
When you create your entry, you answer the registry questions one after
the other. Each answer has a limited number of characters it can
accept. To find out how many, you can just type a long line until you
run into the limit.
After creating your entry, you can go back later and edit your answers.
