Fax-Mode

   Syntax: fax-mode

   The fax-mode command puts you into FAX mode - a mode which
   attempts to simplify the creation and modification of aliases
   whose expansion values are FAX addresses. In this mode, the DB
   command prompt changes to "db.fax>". To exit this mode use the
   command exit-mode. (From this mode there is no exit-program
   prompt; to immediately exit FAX mode, use the quit-program
   command.)

   When in FAX mode, aliases created with the add command are given
   the attributes mail-address and fax-address. Only addresses with
   both of these attributes can be manipulated with the add, copy,
   modify, rename, remove, set, and show commands while in FAX mode.
   Note, however, that if the "override on" command has been issued,
   then all attribute checking is bypassed and no attributes will be
   assigned to aliases created with the add command.

   In FAX mode, the add and modify commands have a different syntax
   then their counterparts in the normal DB mode. (Recall, you can
   always tell which mode you're in by the DB prompt: in normal mode
   the prompt is "db>"; in FAX mode the prompt is "db.fax>".)
