HELP!  I just rebuilt my aliases (newalias command) for the first time
since applying patch 10.  Both inside Elm and through checkalias and
listalias I have a SERIOUS problem:

1. Most of the aliases do not get expanded to include the Email address.
For instance:

    jack = Jack B. Nimble = jack@flurp.com

expands to
    
    jack    (Jack B. Nimbl)

2. Also, as indicated above, the last letter of the real name is dropped
on most of the aliases!!

Fortunately, I have a backup of my aliases files (text and stuff) that
is pre-PL10, so I could recover.  But I can't add any!  The problem
manifests both inside and outside Elm, whether through the A command
sub-menu or using newalias.

Anyone (particularly Syd, of course) got any help for me?  PLEASE?

Steven
