zwrite could (should) default to setting realm of destination and
kerberos realm of recipient equal, unless requested otherwise.
For example,
zwrite srz@LCS.MIT.EDU
sends to recipient "srz@LCS.MIT.EDU", realm/class/instance
"LCS.MIT.EDU:message.personal". Probably the realm on the command
line should be considered a zephyr realm, and translated into the
corresponding Kerberos realm (e.g. suppose I set up a private zephyr
realm "jfc.MIT.EDU". Then "zwrite jfc@jfc.MIT.EDU" [after some name
lookup magic yet to be determined] would send a message to recipient
"jfc@ATHENA.MIT.EDU" [since my zephyr realm uses the Athena kerberos
realm] class "jfc.MIT.EDU:message.personal".
