+
+ The user's ratings for each type of chess are displayed, along with the
+Glicko RD (or index of ratings variability), the total results from games
+played, and the best or highest rating for each type. You can also tell (1)
+whether the user is (1) currently logged on and, if so, for how long and
+whether his/she is idle, (2) playing, observing or examining a game and, if
+so, which game it is, and (3) currently running a version of timeseal or not.
+Beneath the ratings are note lines (a user's "plan" or "notes") the user can
+add using the set command.
+
+
+SPECIAL NOTES:
+
+(a) Your e-mail address is automatically displayed to you beneath your ratings
+table; it is NOT displayed to other users -- unless of course you include your
+address as part of your finger notes.
+
+(b) Best ratings and dates are only given *after* you have played 20 games of
+a given type.
+
+(c) If a user has not played rated games of a given type, the rating will be
+indicated as ---- and the RD will be 350.0.
+
+(d) If a user is not logged on, the display will indicate when he/she last
+disconnected and the timeseal section will not appear.
