    Work-around for Guest users changing their shell or editor

    We need *both* the local thisuser object and the global 'user' object to reflect their changes.

    Log Message:
    Fix issue with Guest user changing the terminal settings and language

    So there's 5 major test scenarios for this one script:
    1. new user changing their settings during registration
    2. regular user logged-in and changing their settings
    3. guest user logged-in and changing their (temporary) settings
    4. sysop using ;uedit command to change their own settings
    5. sysop using ;uedit command to change other user's settings

    Having all 5 scenarios work as expected is tricky:
    - current settings/mode is displayed/reflected in the output of the menu
    - changes made by the user are immediately reflected in the dislpayed settings - changes made by the user are saved (or at least remain "current") after quit
