User Settings Menu

The User Settings menu (also called Account Defaults Configuration or just Configuration in older documentation) lets you, the user, change account-level preferences: terminal type, screen size, expert/novice mode, default editor, password, and so on. It does not change the BBS's configuration, only your own account.

The User Settings menu is a loadable module — by default user_settings — and is separate from the command shell. The shell binds a key to invoke it (in Classic, that's D from the Main prompt; other shells use other keys, and some shells like Deuce's Lightbar bundle their own integrated settings UI instead).

Stock module: ''user_settings''

(Page placeholder — to be filled with the menu reference and per-option descriptions migrated from docs/user.html.)
