people seem to have gotten a little carried away with alias
declarations.  if you want local aliases, that's fine, but keep them
local.  the only aliases that should be sent "outside" are those that
pertain to a machine changing names, e.g., noao = kpno.  note the
syntax:
	primaryname = alias [, alias ...]
other aliases, such as the ucb nicknames, are more a hindrance than
anything else.

i will be re-posting pathalias sometime in the next week.
