                     44: 
                     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.,
                     49: \begin{quote}\small\begin{verbatim}

                     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.
