NAME
checkalias - check to see if an alias is defined.
SYNOPSIS
checkalias alias, alias, ...
DESCRIPTION
Checkalias checks the user file first,
and then the system alias file to try to find the specified alias
or aliases. If found, the value of the alias is printed out,
otherwise an error is generated. Note: this is in fact a one-line
shell script;
elm -c $*

BUGS
Note that the precedence of aliases is user file then
system file. This means that a user can 'overload' an alias by
having one defined in the system file also defined in theirs. This
shouldn't turn out to be a problem, but is something for the system
administrator to keep in mind when creating the system alias file.
