This is not true. The order is * built-in aliases * user-specified aliases * include/excludes (Otherwise you would have to construct user-specified aliases for all versions of a name, e.g. /~sret1/ , /%7Esret1/ , /~sret1/index.html , ...) On the general point, Christopher, you're slightly confused. But only slightly. If you do HOSTALIAS *.odot.state.or.us "Transportation Dept" then analog uses that as the name of the host in all circumstances, so these requests certainly will disappear from the Organisation Report and Domain Report -- they just don't have a domain any more. What you want is a two-step procedure: HOSTALIAS *.odot.state.or.us odot.state.or.us # combining HOSTREPALIAS odot.state.or.us "Transportation Dept" # beautifying -- Stephen Turner, Cambridge, UK http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adelie/stephen/ "This is Henman's 8th Wimbledon, and he's only lost 7 matches."
