I use NN's "m" (forward this article) command very often, to e-mail the
article to my account on a different machine, across the Internet. The
address of the target account is pretty long. In VMS, I could define a
Logical Name in my Login.Com file that would let me use a one-character
abbreviation of my choosing, for the mail-address.

Can I do the same thing in unix? I don't unix at all, don't really want to
bother mastering it, as I only use it on the machine where I read USENET.

If possible, please reply by e-mail

Have you tried setting up an alias? You can do this from within ELM and
possibly other mail readers.
