The only thing it doesn't show from that list is kills in the arena ;) Otherwise that's the command you were speaking of :) For more info on how to change the information in your profile type help profile.

Actually, profile doesn't show their current title, either... you'll have to wait to see them online and use the "whois <player>" to see that. (or the ever useful who command, of course...)

Okay I'm a child of the eighties, why do I not know of this book?

Oh, it's not just a book. That's just the best picture I could find of a dozer. Fraggle Rock was a TV show from the mind of Jim Henson. Check out this site for more info: http://www.fragglerocker.com/. (Actually, this site has many more good pictures of dozers).
