 U_ALIAS   VARIABLE

 Function
  Allow reading and writing of the current users alias.
  (if the SysOp has enabled alias use)

 Type & Value
  STRING
  The current users alias (25 characters max).

 Remarks
  This STRING is filled with information from the current users record
  when the GETUSER statement is executed.  It may then be changed and
  written back to the users record with the PUTUSER statement.  Note that
  it is empty until a GETUSER statement is processed and that changes are
  not written until a PUTUSER statement is processed.  Additionally, it
  will only have meaningful information if the alias PSA is installed.
  The existence of the alias PSA may be checked with the PSA() function.

 Examples

  IF (PSA(1)) THEN
    GETUSER
    PRINTLN "Your alias is ",U_ALIAS
  ELSE
    PRINTLN "Your name is ",U_NAME()
  ENDIF
