  Here's how I did it:
  
  1. add an entry to the string_param table
          describing the variable you want to create
          (I learned to do this by reading the comment
          for getOtherUserParams in users.pl).
  
          Here's my insert:
                insert into string_param set
                      type='otherusersparam',
                      code='newuserzip',
                      name='User\'s zipcode';
  
  2. Edit the default -> users -> newUserForm
          template. Specifically, add an input
          that references the new variable you created.
  
          Here's my input tag:
                <input TYPE="TEXT" NAME="newuserzip"
                              VALUE="">
  
  3. Create a new user, and verify that something
          was entered into the users_param table
  
          My entry looks something like this:
          param_id 1
          uid 6
          name newuserzip
          value 90210
