	In my .mushrc, I put 

	alias aname This is it <long list of addresses in a single line with spaces between them>

	Is there a max len to this? After a few lines it complained of an 
	unmatched "<", and mush started behaving strange...

	Why can't I separate this into several lines ?

	Somebody asked me about "VMS" style. In VMS, you can put a list of
	addresses in a file, and have an alias point to the file. Can that
	be done in mush?

				I don't ask until I try it and it destroys life
				as we know it!
