NEW USER QUESTIONAIRRE
                           Lord Blix, 1996

What it is
----------
NEWUSER.PPE is a nice looking and easy to use questionairre programme,
for PCBOARD 15.2+ sysops to get more information out of their new users
than PCB usually asks for!

New Users can enter up to 4 lines of 47-character length replies if
necessary, that are neatly written to a text file of your choice!

This programme is freeware, so you can use it, sell it, decompile it,
feed it to your grandmother, I don't care, because I needed it for my
own board (Basement BBS (413) 253-5670) {cheap plug}


Configuration
-------------
NEWUSER.PPE  the actual programme.

NEWUSER.CFG  contains only 2 useful lines:
                LINE 1: path and filename of the text file to which
                        newuser.ppe will write your users' answers.
                        If left blank, "ANSWERS.TXT" in the newuser.ppe
                        directory is the default.

                LINE 2: the security that your users will receive 
                        after answering your questionairre. If left 
                        at 0, then there will be no change in SL.

START.TXT    contains any text you want new users to read prior to
             answering your questionairre.

END.TXT      contains any text you want new users to read after
             answering your questions.  It is a good idea to use @PAUSE@
             at the end of these files, to pause the BBS screen after
             your messages are displayed.
             
QUESTION.TXT the text file containing your questions.  There is no limit
             to the amount of questions you may ask, except that of the
             user's patience!

             an asterisk * placed BEFORE a question designates that as 
             one which REQUIRES an answer to continue.

             an asterisk * placed AFTER a question designates that the
             answer only requires one line, and will continue to the next
             question after only one line is entered.

             an asterisk before and after a question designates that
             (obviously) it is a required answer that only needs one line!

             (asterisks before and after questions will not appear
              during the new user interrogation.)
