I could use some advice/help/fixes for the following problem.
I am using ELM on a SUN. For some reason, ELM has a present 
number of aliases that can be entered. In this case approximately
250. When you exceed that, you get an error message. However,
ELM will not rebuild the .hash and .data files for the aliases.
This, in spite of the fact that it will save aliases in the .TEXT
file. Thus, while alias 251 may exist in the .TEXT file it will
not exist in any of the hash or data tables. Further, ELM does
not rebuild the tables. As a consequence of this action,
all of the aliases become unusable. 

Does anyone have a fix for such a problem. I'd hate to have
to constantly GREP from another file to get my addresses.

I need to be able to store a large (~1,000) number of aliases.
