Also, If you just do a deal like it does for new users at login.. After
you enter a new users name, it asks you if the name is correct.. Copy the
manner in which that is done.. Hope that made some sense, I'm tired..
Also, you might want to put the ansi enabling process into the new user
process.. As asking if you want ansi everytime someone logs in will
undoubtly mess us 99% of login processes from tintin and tinyfugue..
etc.. and the last thing you want to do is make anyones life that much
more difficult..:P Users tend to have this way of blowing little things
out of proportion <grin>
God against man, man against God, man against nature, God against man, man
against God, man against nature, nature against man, nature against God,
God against nature...very funny religion!
