CreateUser()

Creates a new user in the Console. If the optional argument mailbox is provided, a new mailbox is also created with ownership set to the new user. If the mailbox parameter is empty the properties of the new mailslot are all set to default (that is, as though File, New, User Mailbox, had been used from the Console). If the name of an existing mailbox is specified, the primary properties of that mailslot are copied to the newly created mailbox. NB: the password field of the new mailslot is always left blank.
