# Account

An account is a collection of logically related files.
Each account has a master dictionary (MD), where the vocabulary for
the account resides. This includes items such as commands, Procs,
menus, macros, connectives, modifiers, file-defining items (D-pointers)
and synonym-defining items (Q-pointers).

For example, the dm account contains files used for routine
system administration. dm is typically used only by system administrators
and not data-entry operators.
