- Short of writing your own code, there's no way to do this at present. I'll
- give it some thought though. Changes I want to make to the 4.2 pop-up FAX
- form would allow this but only for aliases in the user's personal alias
- database and, possibly, the system-wide alias database. (If you enter
- only the name of an alias then the alias can be retrieved and presented
- on the form and can then be edited.... I haven't fully thought this out
- though.)
