Hi I would like to know how to set up an alias for say 40 people in elm. When I try to set up my alias it only gives me one line to type all the addresses and I need more lines to type all the names in. Is their and easier way? Thanks in advance, Mario L.

Why not use an editor, where it is possible to exceed a line. Make your very long alias, quit editor, give the system-command newalias and then enter elm. /Torsten
