Naming the System
-----------------

`system STRING'
     Specify the remote system name.  Subsequent commands up to the next
     `system' command refer to this system.

`alternate [STRING]'
     Start an alternate set of commands (*note Defaults and
     Alternates::.).  An optional argument may be used to name the
     alternate.  This name will be recorded in the log file if the
     alternate is used to call the system.  There is no way to name the
     first alternate (the commands before the first `alternate'
     command).

`default-alternates BOOLEAN'
     If the argument is false, any remaining default alternates (from
     the defaults specified at the top of the current system file) will
     not be used.  The default is true.

`alias STRING'
     Specify an alias for the current system.  The alias may be used by
     local `uucp' and `uux' commands, as well as by the remote system
     (which can be convenient if a remote system changes its name).  The
     default is to have no aliases.

`myname STRING'
     Specifies a different system name to use when calling the remote
     system.  Also, if `called-login' is used and is not `ANY', then,
     when a system logs in with that login name, STRING is used as the
     local system name.  Because the local system name must be
     determined before the remote system has identified itself, using
     `myname' and `called-login' together for any system will set the
     local name for that login; this means that each locally used
     system name must have a unique login name associated with it.
     This allows a system to have different names for an external and
     an internal network.  The default is to not use a special local
     name.
