The commands are:
$ Resynchronize your alias text file and your alias database by rebuilding the data-
base from the text file by running
newalias. Aliases marked for deletion are
removed, tagged aliases are untagged, and new and changed aliases are recognized.
The alias screen is updated to reflect these changes.
+ Display the next alias index page, when applicable.
- Display the previous alias index page, when applicable.
/pattern Pattern match. Search for pattern in the alias and user name fields of the alias list.
The search starts at the current alias and wraps around to the beginning of the
alias list. The current alias pointer is set to the first alias that matches. Uppercase
and lowercase are treated as equivalent.
//pattern Pattern match. Search for pattern through all the fields of the alias list (alias, user
name, comment, and address). The search starts at the current alias and wraps
around to the beginning of the alias list. The current alias pointer is set to the first
alias that matches. Uppercase and lowercase are treated as equivalent.
/pattern
Pattern match. This command allows you to search through all the alias and user-
name entries in the alias list, starting at the current alias and continuing through
the end. If the first character of the pattern is a
/, then the comment and the fully
expanded address fields are also included in the search. The search is case-
insensitive. This allows you to find a specific alias in a situation where there are a
large number of aliases.
?key ... Help on key. Display a one-line description of what each key does. ? displays a
summary listing for each command available. A period (
.) returns you to the Alias
Menu.
a Alias current message. This allows you to create an alias that has the return
address of the current message as the address field of the alias. It prompts for a
unique alias name and allows you to edit the comment and address fields.
c Change the current user alias. The old values of the alias fields are used as the
defaults in the prompts for the new values. You cannot change the alias name. If
the alias name is one of a multiple-alias record, it is removed from that record and
stored as a separate record. The old alias is marked N. Changes are effective after
the next alias resynchronization.
d Mark the current user alias for deletion. The deletions are made when you exit
from the Alias Menu with an q, r,ori command or you resynchronize your alias
database with the $ command. (You cannot delete a system alias in this way.)
Ctrl-D Delete user aliases with a specified search pattern.
e Edit your aliases.text file, using the editor defined in the editor string vari-
able. Your aliases are resynchronized when you finish editing (see the $ command).
f Display a fully expanded alias. The currently selected alias is fully expanded and
displayed.
