My incoming mailbox isn't /usr/mail/jawil but:
/vhe/hpx5/users/dt92/jawil/mail/inbox 
How do I get ELM to read this as the inbox? At the moment I'm using the -f
flag at startup-time to change mailbox, but then I can't see what mail is New
etc..

Another question:
How do I format the printing of the aliases in the alias screen?
At the moment it is:

     1   Bent Tranberg                                                Person    Bent
     2   Bjarne Lien                                                  Person    Bjarne

If I want to, for example, list the alias first, then the name, then the
comment, what do I do?

Use the MAIL environment variable in your .login/.profile, Elm honors it.
