   I've just begun using ELM( 2.3 PL11) and found something different
from what is described in 'ELM Alias System Users Guide'(May 1,1990)
obtained from dsinc.dsi.com

  I put this line in my 'aliases.text' file under ~/.elm.

   yong, yonghae = Yonghae Kim = [e-mail].

  When I tried to send mail to him(Yonghae Kim), 'yong'(1st alias name
in the list) was resolved to full e-mail address([e-mail]).
But, 'yonghae',the 2nd alias name for him was not resolved.  Accordingly,
in 'alias' submenu within ELM, 'yong' is found by 'P)erson' search,but
'yonghae'(the 2nd) is not found by 'P' search.
  I deleted space between two alias names and the result was the same
as with space. ('yong,yonghae' instead of 'yong, yonghae')

  The 2nd page of 'ELM Alias System Users Guide'(dated May 1,1990)
 has a example just like one above.

   frank,minjarez = Frank Minjarez = [e-mail]

  I'd like to know whether this feature(association of more than one name
with one person in one line) was removed or has not been realized,yet.
  IMHO, it is a little more convenient to have this feature although without
it one can still associate more than one alias name with a single person
by having two seperate lines for each aliasname.

   I would like you to consider this problem and to send me reply
at [e-mail] if I missed something in 'alias'.

   Thanks in advance.
