This is a Unix-related question that should really be posted to a
Unix-related news group.

In short: .plan is not a word, it's a name of a file where you store
your plans for future work.  Programs like `finger' can display the
contents of this file.  So if you say something like this:

	  finger eliz AT is DOT elta DOT co DOT il

you should see what my plans are.  (Don't actually try this, since I
don't have a .plan file in my home directory.)
