	   print "Nick: ", $user->nick(), "
";

DESCRIPTION

       Net::Hotline::User is a simple class for storing and retrieving user information,  You should never have to create your own
       Net::Hotline::User objects when using Net::Hotline::Client.  Getting and setting attributes is all that should be necessary.

CONSTRUCTION

	   With no arguments, creates a new Net::Hotline::User object with all attributes set to undef. The other option is to supply exactly 5
	   arguments as listed above.

METHODS

       All the Net::Hotline::User methods are simple attribute get/set routines.  If given an argument, they set an attribute.	In all cases, they
       return the current value of the attribute.

       color NUMBER
	   The color of the user in the userlist.  Values are numbers from 0 to 3. The hash HTLC_COLORS defined in Net::Hotline::Constants
	   contains number to name color mappings (i.e. $HTLC_COLORS{2} is "red").  Example:

		   use Net::Hotline::Constants qw(HTLC_COLORS);
		   ...
		   print $user->nick(), " is ", $HTLC_COLORS{$user->color()}, "
";

       icon NUMBER
