David,
If you go to interNIC there's a good help page for the WHOIS utility. If
you're uding telnet, you can use whois -h whois.internic.net partialname.
<-- a dot immediately follows. There's loads of other options to including
ways to serch using a web browser. Worth a look. I stumbled upon this while
doing research for Jack's question (to which I've found no answer yet -
sorry Jack).
Enjoy!
Jim
