12 Arguments:
13 Person_id
14    is the Person_id of a user whose registration data is to be changed.
15    If it is omitted, the change command asks for it.
16 item
17    is the item to be changed.  If it is omitted, every item is
18    displayed and a new value is requested.  Item can only be given if
19    Person_id is given.  Item may be any one of the following keywords:
20    addr
21       User's mailing address
22    cpass

40 
41 Notes:  The chaddr, chalias, chcpass, chdf_proj, chname, chpass, and
42 chprog commands can be used to change some of the individual items in
43 the PNT and avoid the need to type the item name or to be prompted for
44 new values of all items.
45 
46 The user's last name can be a maximum of 32 characters.  The field for
47 the user's first name and middle initial can be a maximum of 24
48 characters.  The user's name should be given last name first, then a
49 comma, the first name, a space, and then middle initial followed by a
50 period.  Names of the form "Smith, J.  Alfred" are also allowed.  If
51 the user has a title (e.g., Prof., Capt., Dr.), the title (maximum of 8
52 characters) should follow the name and be separated from the name by a
53 colon.
54 
55 
56 The address field can be a maximum of 32 characters; slashes can be
57 used to separate lines of an address.
58 
59 The programmer number and default project ID can be a maximum of 32 and
60 9 characters, respectively.
61 
62 Notes can be a maximum of 32 characters.  This field can hold
63 miscellaneous information such as phone number, additional address
64 information, position within the organization, etc.
65 
66 
67 The password and card input password can be from one through eight
68 ASCII printing characters, including backspace, but excluding space and
69 semicolon.  "HELP", "help", "quit", and "?"  are interpreted uniquely
70 by the password processor and are therefore unacceptable as password
71 specifications for an interactive login.  A response of either a blank
72 line or an asterisk ("*") will leave the password unchanged.
73 
74 The accounting administrator can type "stop" at any time to abort all
75 the changes he has made for a particular user and start over.
