controlled by various flags.  Here is a typical result of a "who" command:

2445^salka             ---- Hayou      2061^mtg  

The players are sorted according to the maximum of the active ratings.
(The B, b, d, L, s, and w flags described in "help who1" adjust this.)

Each player listed has their rating to the left of their username, and
perhaps one of the following symbols: ^#.:~ 

  ^   That player is currently playing a game.
  #   That player is currently examining a game.
  .   That player is "idle" for at least 5 minutes (hasn't sent a command to
      ICC recently).
  :   That player is not open for match challenges.
  ~   That player is currently giving a simul (playing multiple games 
      concurrently).

Also, in the listing, titled players will have their title displayed next
to their username.  "help titles" lists the possible titles.

There are a number of optional flags, that select which players to show and
how to show them.  Do "help who1" to see them.
