There are two ways, first users.dat is a text file so as long as you match 
the format you can just
append them with notepad or whatever.

If you want the passwords encrypted, then you can write a script like this:
         tellnews -adduser USERNAME PASSWORD USERGROUP
         tellnews -adduser USERNAME2 PASSWORD USERGROUP
         tellnews -adduser USERNAME3 PASSWORD USERGROUP
Then run that script.
