getting a userfield for postbit

[sailnet]

I have some information stored in userfield6 that I want to display in postbit.

can I get access to that field in class_postbit.php

and if so - what is it's name ...i.e.

$myfield = $this->registry->userinfo['userfield6'] (does not work)


ps:
I have written some code that access the usergroupid and this works fine in class_postbit

$this->post['groupid'] = $this->registry->userinfo['usergroupid'];

thanks in advance
