But yet not the answer I was intending. My apologies, I meant under my unix account. You know when you send the command to finger some one and you get their name and all of that? At the bottom it says what their plan is. Do you know what I mean? Again I apologize for the misunderstanding previously and greatly appreciate your help. Thanks

Ahh, I see said the blind man.

You setup a file called .plan in your home directory. Then when you use the finger command it will show info under plan.

$ cat .plan  
who knows  
$ finger myaccount  
Login name: myaccount In real life: William Gates  
Directory: /export/home/unixops Shell: /bin/ksh  
On since Sep 26 09:02:40 on pts/0 from [casqfe3.mycom.com](http://casqfe3.mycom.com)  
12 seconds Idle Time  
No unread mail  
Plan:  
who knows  
$

There is also a .project file that can be used. See the man page for finger.
