 * Basically, I created a custom script that contains a member database, but when
   someone signs up with my custom script, I want that user’s account information
   copied to the WordPress database as well. Just to point out, this isn’t a plugin,
   this is a script that has nothing to do with WordPress in another folder using
   it’s own separate database. I just need to know if there is anything special 
   I have to do to copy a user to the WordPress database, and when that user tries
   to login over at WordPress, they will be able to user the same email/username
   and password they signed up with over at my custom script?

 * Have you browsed the **wp_users** table? Do you know how to encrypt the user’s
   password in the same way that WordPress does? I don’t think you can store an 
   unencrypted password into the **user_pass** field and expect WordPress to recognize
   it with the user logs in. I don’t know if there’s any documentation regarding
   how the password is encrypted/decrypted, you may have to dig in the WP code.
