Has anyone written any code which would take an elm alias and return the network address? What I am thinking about is for use in commands like talk & finger. It would be nice to not have to remember full addresses. -phil -- J.

Use the elm utility program checkalias(1), surrounded by a shell script
that will strip off the irrelevant output.
