What were you trying to do?
A user was trying to register on a maxine with a password the
program considered unsafe.
What's wrong:
The window wasn't large enough for the user to actually see
anything besides some scrolling and some hints about picking good
passwords. She had tried the same passowrd about 10 times when a
friend came into the SIPB office to get me.
What should have happened:
Being unfamiliar with register, I'm not sure whether this is a
font size problem, or what, but in any case, to accomodate people with
various terminal types/sizes, the program should have been smart
enought to figure out the window size and page as apropos.
What should have happened:
-C
