-<P>In the first instance, in 1.48, the sysop can create, with their favorite
-text editor, files in the directory <EM>/spider/scripts</EM> which contain
-any legal command for a callsign or class of connection which will be executed
-at logon.
+<P>The directory /spider/scripts is where it all happens and is used for several
+things. Firstly it contains a file called startup that can be used to call
+in any changes to the cluster from the default settings on startup. This
+script is executed immediately after all initialisation of the node is done
+but before any connections are possible. Examples of this include how many
+spots it is possible to get with the sh/dx command, whether you want
+registration/passwords to be permanently on etc. An example file is shown
+below and is included in the distribution as startup.issue.
