Privs are stored in the UserData file located in the users folder. All the priv data is stored in binary 1's & 0's taking up 8 bytes (4th byte thru 11th). The bytes are the 4th thru 7th Bytes in the Userdata file, space for up to 64 privs. Only the first six bytes are currently used.
In the following description 1 denotes the highest bit (leftmost) in a byte. If priv #1 is the only one enabled, then the byte is chr(128).
