I've written a little program to lookup account names. It's called
WHOIS.BAS and it's on my account [1,53] on the sim. Run it (priv users
only) and it will ask you for a PPN; you can enter a single PPN and it will
look up the account name, or enter the word ALL and it will list all the
accounts in $ACCT.SYS.

Now we just need to put all the accounts that are already on the sim into
$ACCT.SYS ...

Cheers,
Alan
