Episode 64 Setting user Electronic Signature Code through Text Based Interface.

So if you are in a pinch and cannot use VistA-Config, here is how to get to a user to set their own Electronic Signature Code. It should be obvious but sometimes the menu doesn't appear in a straightforward way. It is in User's Toolbox which is what you enter at the Option Prompt. You can checkout Kevin's Menu Map here http://vistapedia.net/index.php?title=VistA_Menu_Commands_/_VistA_Menu_Map which shows where the menu item is.

The user (not the administrator) logs in on their own access/verify with through the text client such as Start-->Astronaut-->Text client and enters:
