If you ignore the @XXX then how are you supposed to look up cross-cell
pts ids?  For example:

--> cat /usr/vice/etc/ThisCell 
athena.mit.edu
--> pts examine [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Name: [EMAIL PROTECTED], id: 295680, owner: system:administrators, creator: 
system:administrators,
  membership: 5, flags: S----, group quota: 0.

I suppose we could:
        1) downcase the @(realm>
        2) if <realm> == cell (which is either on the command-line or implied)
           then drop it from the string.

But that seems an awful lot of work to me.  However, feel free to send in
a patch ;)
