A combination question/suggestion.  If I edit the aliases.text file I
can use synonyms for an alias, e.g.

         joe, smith, dude = Joe Smith = jsmi@bigvax.school.edu

But if I'm in Elm, call up the alias menu, and use "m" to make an alias,
if I try to enter anything with a comma in the alias field I get a "bad
character" error message.  Am I right that alias synonyms can only be
entred by editing aliases.text directly?  If so, might it be possible to
alter the make-alias function to allow for synonyms?
