_Description (x-file and f-file)_ These commands are to spice up your examine (x) file and finger (f) file. Some of them are for both files, some are for only one. They have been separated for your convenience. For Both Files: age: -To set your age, type: age <number> -You must set the age to a numerical value. It will not recognize anything else. -Typing age 0 turns this function off. birthday (bday): -To set your birthday, type: bday <month/date> -If you want your birthday to be set to Feb 29, you _must_ include the year in the date. For example: bday 2/29/96. The only time you do not have to include the year, is when it is an actual leap year. -Typing bday 0 turns this function off. description (desc): -To set up a description of yourself, type: desc <self depiction> hometown: -To set the location of where you are, type: hometown <place> madefrom (formerly automatically set based on gender): -To set what you are made from, type: madefrom <components> -You may now set this to whatever you wish it to be. If you type madefrom without anything after it, it will default to the old message. title: -To set your own title (because we all need one once we are no longer 'new to the playground'), type: title <insert your noble rank here> -You do not need to put your name at the beginning of your title. The program will do it for you automatically. -If you prefer to have just your name, and no title after it, type title with no message after it. (i.e.- type: title) toggle: -To set your email and/or site public for friends or everyone to see, type: toggle <email or site> <friends or everyone> -If you do not toggle your email or site, it is assumed that you wish for them to remain private. url (WWW homepage location): -To set the location of your homepage, type: url <location> -This is NOT to set up a homepage.
