        !            37: it will ask \pgm{xface} to display the picture of the person who sent the

        !            45: Rather than specifying an address,
        !            46: you can specify a name by bracketing a White Pages query between
        !            47: ``\verb"<<"'' and ``\verb">>"'' using the \verb"whois" syntax of the \pgm{fred}
        !            48: command, e.g.,

        !            52: At the \whatnow/ prompt, you can say \verb"whom" to have the names expanded
        !            53: into addresses.
        !            54: Alternately,
        !            55: the \verb"send" option can be used as well.
        !            56: For each query appearing between ``\verb"<<"'' and ``\verb">>"'',
        !            57: \pgm{fred} will be asked to perform a White Pages resolution.
        !            58: All matches are printed and the you are asked to select one.
        !            59: If one is not selected,
        !            60: you remains with \pgm{fred},
        !            61: to make more queries,
        !            62: until eventually one is selected
        !            63: (or you  exit \pgm{fred} to abort the expansion process).
        !            64: 
        !            65: Note that expansion can occur only if \verb"whom" or \verb"send" is invoked
        !            66: interactively. 
        !            67: If the \verb"push" option is used instead,
        !            68: then the expansion will fail because \pgm{fred} will be unable to ask
        !            69: you to select/confirm the right entry to use for the substitution.
