	In the software I use (rn) there is a provision for limitting
distribution so a bicycle for sale in Oakland doesn't get advertised
in Nepal. This is a great idea, and I'd love to use it, but I can't
find a list of abreviations for various localities or the format for
using them (if I want it to go to the bay area AND Oregon, do I
include both? Use a comma between them? Can I even do this?)

	I have also seen macros mentioned, and these also look useful,
but they are undocumented at my site. Is there some publication which 
has all this info?

	I know, I know, "Ask your sysadmin." He says "I'm busy, ask
somebody else." (I'm not getting the accent right, but that's the gist
of it).

	I appreciate the help, and the bandwidth.
