I'm trying to learn the ins and outs of ELM and one of the things I'd like to do is to use the filter capability to read the subject headers on my incoming mail and respond according to some preset set of directions. The filter directions that I have are so obscure that my onsight CRAY and systems engineers couldn't figure them out. Can someone help me get started with FILTERS. Item 2. I want to set up a file, let's call it conference.aliases . In this file is a list of e-mail addresses of people who need to be contacted concerning a particular conference. Assume the list has a large amount of names so that I don't want it to be part of my regular e-mail alias list. How can I get ELM to read and to send a message to an alternate alias list? Further, how can I do it so that it does it by BCC? Item 3. I have the various off the net documents about ELM. Is there anything more comprehensive? If so, how do I get my hands on it? Item 4. Thanks to all those who responded to my last call for help on the alias table size. We have fixed that by, as everyone suggested, rebuilding ELM with a larger alias table size. Thanks to everyone, Matthew Witten, Ph.D. Associate Director, UT SYSTEM CHPC M.WITTEN@HERMES.CHPC.UTEXAS.EDU M.WITTEN@UTCHPC.BITNET

They are in the doc directory. If you are refering to the postscript pre-processed docs kept on dsinc.dsi.com for ftp/uucp, those are the same docs as in the doc directory, just run through di-troff and a di-troff to postscript converter. I did that so those without troff but with a postscript compatible printer would have a way of printing the docs in the better format than nroff. -- ===================================================================== Sydney S.
