[Opensim-users] About editing avatar appearance in Opensim Grid Mode

Another question for Gokhan is whether he is creating avatars via the "create user" command on the console or via some 
other means (e.g Wifi).  Creating on the console should yield an avatar with editable clothing/body parts on 
OpenSimulator 0.7.2 and later but I will have to go back and test this.  Creating avatars via other services may not 
(though it sounds like wifi handles this just fine).
