Help with UNIX finger

	Hello!
	
	I recently posted a message requesting help with my finger file 
thingey. I already said I don't know UNIX, so I'm requesting help! To 
make it easier, I sent an attachment of what I want! I tried to make it 
as easy as possible, with everything I want in brackets. ie. if I wanted 
something yellow, I'd have [yellow]  Thanks a lot, in advance! All you 
have to do is put in the real commands in place of my stuff and then 
e-mail me the finished file! Thank you,

	Okay, #1: a finger file thingy is called a "plan" and is sometimes 
written ".plan" because that is the filename.  #2: it's bad to include color 
control codes (what you want someone to replace [yellow] with) in a .plan 
because there are systems on the internet that cannot handle those codes.  
i.e., the codes will fuck the machines up or at least make them burp.  So, I 
know it is tempting, but don't color your plan file.  If you ever send colored 
or animated text over the internet, encode it first.  It takes a little effort 
 and it's not as neat but it's the polite thing to do.
