information in memory. This function is used to explicitly
tell UFM to flush the memory buffers to disk. You can use

*P
Notice that the users answers are shown on the left side of
the screen, while the data that will be stored into the

before adding it, as most users will not enter the
information the way you want to see it. The sysop field is a
yes/no toggle if set to yes, then the their BBS information
is shown on the bottom line. Thus you may have to edit the
data twice, once to toggle the sysop flag to yes, then to
edit the BBS info.

If the person is flagged as a sysop, they will be added to
the sysops conference and given sysop level when registered.
