+	// Register links are enabled on the site home page and login page and navbar. 
+	// They are not shown by default on other pages which may require login.
+
+	// If the register link is enabled and registration is closed, the request is directed
+	// to /pubsites. If registration is allowed, /register is the default destination
+
+	// system.register_link can over-ride the default behaviour and redirect to an arbitrary
+	// webpage for paid/custom or organisational registrations, regardless of whether
+	// registration is allowed.
+
+	// system.register_link may or may not be the same destination as system.sellpage
+
+	// system.sellpage is the destination linked from the /pubsites page on other sites. If 
+	// system.sellpage is not set, the 'register' link in /pubsites will go to 'register' on your
+	// site. 
+	
+	// If system.register_link is set to the word 'none', no registration link will be shown on
+	// your site.
