Accounts screen appears.

other options are <Delete> - this allows the deletion of a user entry, and <Update> - this allows for

changes to be made to an existing user entry.

only. All changes (including User additions or updates) must be entered into non-volatile ram using

the Save Changes command on the main menu - if you want these changes to be permanent.
