-> I have a patch to newlist that has it automatically add the aliases to the 
-> file.  Do you want it?  Barry, should we put this in 2.0?

	Personally, I am against this kind of patch.  I don't want some
random script messing with my system configuration files.  What if it's on
a (slow, dangerous) networked filesystem?  What if I'm using NIS?  What if
the script fscks up and I'm left without a backup of my config file?

	I just want to have the aliases put into a text file (in ADDITION
to being printed to the screen), so I don't have to be in an xterm for
cut'n'paste.
