account

Definition/General, Releases: AP and R83

Description of account.

Description

a collection of logically-related files. Each account has a 'master dictionary', where the vocabulary for the account resides. This includes items such as verbs, PROCs, menus, macros, connectives, modifiers, file-defining items ('d-pointers') and synonym-defining items ('q-pointers').

For example, the 'dm' account contains the files needed for routine system administration. 'dm' would typically be used only by System Administrators and not casual data-entry operators.
