+<P>The directory /spider/scripts is used for several things. Firstly it
+contains a file called startup that can be used to call in any changes
+to the cluster from the default settings on startup. Examples of this
+include how many spots it is possible to get with the sh/dx command,
+whether you want registration/passwords to be permanently on etc. An
+example file is shown below and is included in the distribution as
+startup.issue.

+<P>Secondly, it is used to store the login scripts for users. Currently
+this can only be done by the sysop but it is envisaged that eventually
+users will be able to set their own. An example is included in the
+distibution but here is a further example.

+<P>The lines in between commands can simply insert a blank line or a character
+such as a + sign to make the output easier to read.
