Won't work until there's a default FAL user and an INFO.TXT...

  So what's supposed to be in this INFO.TXT file that everyone's been
talking about lately?   I think I may be too much of a newcomer here to
know about it.   Where should it be, and what should it contain?

Actually, thanks for reminding me. This is something someone should
write up a page about. I'll happily put a link to that on the hecnet
webpage... (Or host it, if needed.)

That's the sort of thing that should definitely be in the help system.

Agreed.   I was also serious about an INFO.TXT generator needing to exist.
