We have a number of people who want to use three letter usernames, ie Tom, Val, Bob, etc. But the registration requires a minimum of four. is there an easy code change to fix that? In what file would I find that restriction?

Yeah, this is very easy to change.
Inside register.php.t there is a line

if( !$user_id && strlen($GLOBALS['HTTP_POST_VARS']['reg_login']) < 4 ) {

Change the 4 to the minimum number of letters you wish to allow the login to be.
