It sounds to me like RDWest is very new to all this. It is possible
that he doesn't know where to start. We are here to help these folks

The general idea here is this:
After a user has logged in, he/she can access his/her information in
the flatfile database. They can do this because you will write a
CGI program that allows them to edit certain information. When they
submit that form, the info is saved in the flat file database, in
their record.
If you start moving on this and get more specific questions, they will
be easier to answer with example code or pointers to the right
books/documentation.
