- You may be unable to find the entry you are looking for with a
- straight-forward query. This may be because the entry is named differently
- to what you imagined, or may be an indication that the entry is not in the
- directory. Make a guess initially, and if there is no entry with the name you
- have entered, the program will allow you to list the entries in the
- Directory, and adjust the name you have entered.

- The following example gives an example of how to do this.

- person> kille
- department> networking
- organisation> ucl
- country> gb

- The Directory Service returns with the message: "No departments match
- `networking'" and prompts for a DEPARTMENT name to be entered.
