Subject: Re: MEX tele directory

I disagree with single-character telephone directories.  They are very
hard to remember, so you can't type mex call e from  cp/m  and  be  as
confident  as typing mex call ecl.  It's a drag to have to display the
whole directory every time you want to call someone.  It's a  drag  to
be  limited  to  36  phone numbers (a-z, 0-9).  If you want a memo pad
built in to your phone directory perhaps you can find a naming  scheme
that will do it, like RBBS1, RBBS2, etc.  --david--
