ALIAS Alias Name Usage
This command allows you to turn your alias on or off when in a conference which allows aliases to be used.
Subcommands
| ON | Use your alias. | Your alias will be active. |
| OFF | Use your real name. | Even though you are in a conference where aliases are allowed, your real name will be used. |
Description
When you are in a conference that allows aliases, this command enables you to decide when your alias will be active. When you enter this command with no subcommands, the status of using your alias will toggle. If your alias is active and you execute this command with no subcommands, you will switch to using your real name. When you switch, PCBoard will attempt to hide the change by making it appear that someone is logging into the node.
This command will have no effect if you attempt to use it in a conference where aliases are not allowed, or if the Alias PSA is not installed.
Examples
This example will show you what to enter if you want to toggle the status of your alias from either on to off or from off to on:
