Since experiments are staffed by people and artifacts in the logbook are associated with people, the people that can create artifacts must be made known to the database. This command adds a person to the database.
A person is identified by their lastname,
firstname and an optional
salutation.
If none of these are provided to the command, it switches to GUI mode and pops up a dialog box that allows people to be added to the database. The dialog provides entries for the three fields that define a person (salutation can be left blank). The button adds the person described and the button exits the dialog. Thus GUI Mode allows more than one person to be added in a single invocation of the command.
