newusr adds  login to the  user base of the  COHERENT system.  It
adds  an  entry  for  login  to  the password  file  /etc/passwd.

created as the home directory for the new user.  User Name is the
human name is the person for whom login is being created.

        /etc/newusr fwb "Fred Butzen" /v


creates new  user Fred Butzen, with login  fwb and home directory
/v/fwb.
