Hi Giles,

OK the skeleton files are in /usr/share/users/...

here are the files. .cshrc & .login I wont send since they are the same
as /usr/share/.cshrc & /usr/share/.login. .elm/elmrc is there to make ELM
pick up a signature file .plan & public_html/index.html are just prototype
files so that it is easy for a new user to figure out what to put in there
so that it works. Ditto for .signature

# internal pager, set the parameter to "n".  If you want the builtin
