Help for /info


Usage:  /info [user|discussion]                            
        /info set|clear|append|download|upload [discussion]

On lily you will often need more than a name and a blurb to describe yourself.  
Rather than answering the same questions ad nauseum you can set your info file, 
using it to answer those questions.

To set your info file use /info set, and it will start prompting you for lines 
to put in your info. When you're done, on the following line, type the word SAVE
and hit <return>. If you haven't typed SAVE, you can cancel your changes by 
typing the word ABORT and pressing <return>. /info append works just like /info 
set, but as the name implies it appends to your info instead of replacing it. 
/info clear will remove your info.

To download your info into a local file, use /info download. To update your info
from a local file, use /info upload. These options are currently only supported 
when using the iTerm2 terminal emulator. Note that uploaded data must be 
printable ASCII or UTF-8 text.

You can also perform set, clear , append, download, or upload on discussions you
moderate.

To view an info file, use /info user|discussion.

Info files are timestamped. To see the timestamp for a user, use /finger. For a 
discussion, use /what.
