+set
+
+Usage: set variable_name [value]
+
+ You have a number of predefined variables that control the behavior of your
+account. This command allows you to control those variables and modify their
+settings. Generally, if "value" is omitted, the variable is toggled ON/OFF
+(0/1).
+
+Examples:
+ set shout 0
+ set f4 !private & !computer !abuser
+ set time 10
+ set inc 0
+ set auto 1
+ set style 12
+
+ To see the list of all of variables you can control, type "help variables".
+There are also other special uses of the "set" command, as follows.
+
+BUSY MESSAGE
+
+ If you will be idle for a while, you can have a brief message displayed to
+users when they "tell" you something. Read the "busy" help file for details.
+
+FINGER NOTES
+
+ You can have up to 10 information lines that can be displayed when someone
+uses the "finger" command. These text lines are modified by typing "set n
+<text>" where 'n' can be any integer from 1-10. You can erase one of your
+lines by typing "set n" without any text. (See "notes" help file.)
+
+FORMULA
+
+ You can filter out match requests by setting a formula. Your formula may
+include certain variables you can also set. Read the "formula" help file for
+details.
