If no options are present, the program will interactively ask how to format the data, how to send you the data and for which semester. Classlist also lists the login names of students who already have alpha accounts. Finally is has the ability to create reflectors for a single class section, naming the reflector by its 9 digit course number. Given other commandline options, the program will extract and store a mail- ing list containing the email addresses of the students in the class who already have alpha accounts. Students that drop the course will not be in the mailing list, but will remain in the regular list.
Commandline options override the program's interactive question mode.
To generate a mailing list the -M option can be used in conjunction with the semester option and this will print the login names of alpha users in the class. To install a reflector in the name of the 9 digit class number, the -R option can be used in conjunction with the semester option. Otherwise it is recommended that instead of using the classlist command, use the unix com- mand ur, which lets you name the reflector and then internally calls the classlist command to populate it. Such a script would eliminate the manual typing of the command multiple times. The -s option displays the entire list on your screen without prompting for each page.
