[TRNSYS-users] Number range for user type in TRNSYS 17

[David BRADLEY]

*Cédric*,
   okay! over 100 user types is quite impressive. Sorry for the mess 
this is causing you. I don't see a problem with reserving a larger 
user-type range and if 5000 to 6000 suits you, I'll put it that way in 
the manual. Please keep in mind that the Type number ranges are only 
suggestions and there's no real way to guarantee that some other user 
won't write one in that range.
   Best,
  David
