Sorry if this question has already been answered before, but... Is there any way to list the elm system aliases from with elm? I know that you can do it with the listalias command, but that is not quite what I want. Also, if you try to list your aliases and you don't have an aliases.text file, elm presents a message to that effect but just as quickly erases it. Is there someway around this?

The users here are pretty naive and it would be nice if choosing "l" withing the alias menu would paginate a list of all the aliases. Other question: is there (or could there be) an option to clear the screen after exiting (q,Q,x) elm?

I can use "p" to list the aliases by person (they're group/system, but whatever..) and "listalias" works fine. Using "l" doesn't list anything however. If I add user aliases (i.e. non- global) then it will list those.. it just won't list the system-wide ones. This is on an AT&T 3B2/700 running S5R3.2.1... if this command is supposed to work, any help is appreciated.. if not, well... :-( Everything else seems to work dandy.

Neat trick, are you in a time warp or just a typo :-) Before I get overrun with mail, there is no PL13 to 2.3. The current rel is 2.3 PL11. I don't know what version he meant. -- ===================================================================== Sydney S. Weinstein, CDP, CCP Elm Coordinator Datacomp Systems, Inc.
