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>".)
