Summary: 

The fields are as follows:

#N = Name of site
#S = System (machine and OS)
#O = Organization
#C = Contact Person(s)
#E = Electronic mail address(es) of Contact Person(s)
#T = Telephone number(s) of Contact Person(s)
#P = Postal Address of Organization/Contact Person(s)
#L = Latitude and Longitude of site (optional)
#R = Remarks of interest (such as Usenet feeds, machine use, etc)
#W = Written by (last edit by)...and date

The other point that was made, about latitude and longitude, is somewhat
valid.  Our latitude and longitude isn't enough once we set up sites
on other planets....  If you want to spend 1/2 hour and find a latitude
and longitude for your site, visit your nearest fair-sized library and
see if they have any U.S Geologic Survery maps for your area.  Figuring
the latitude and logitude from the maps (for a value correct enough
for your map entry) is fairly simple.  Many campus libraries will
also have these maps.
