tcl.create-account
Creates a new account.
Syntax
create-account {account.name}
Description
creates a new master dictionary, copies all the necessary items into it, and updates the 'mds' file with the name and address.
The 'newac' file in the 'dm' account contains the items that are placed into a new account md. Additional, application-specific items may be added to newac. For security purposes, items can be removed from newac as well. For example, dangerous verbs such as 'delete-file' and 'clear-file' could be either removed or renamed to prevent accidental use.
See 'master dictionary' for an explanation of the attributes requested in 'create-account'.
If the account.name is omitted from the command line, the process prompts for it.
