     It appears that the internet is not recognizing the string

kevin-marvels-computer 

or maybe aips does not allow such long strings. 
To make yourself into a "laptop"

cd $AIPS_ROOT
edit HOSTS.LIST adding LOCALHOST as a Mac computer at your site
edit LOGIN.SH and LOGIN.CSH to change LAPTOP from NO to YES
cd DA00
edit DADEVS.LIST and NETSP making LOCALHOST_n entries exactly
     corresponding to your current entries 
ln -s KEVIN-MARVELS-COMPUTER LOCALHOST (assuming that the KE...
     directory actually exists

also link LOCALHOST to your current data areas using

cd ../DATA
ln -s KEVIN-MARVELS-COMPUTER_1 LOCALHOST_1
ln -s KEVIN-MARVELS-COMPUTER_2 LOCALHOST_2
ln -s KEVIN-MARVELS-COMPUTER_3 LOCALHOST_3

assuming that the data areas are now based in $AIPS_ROOT/DATA at least
via links.

There is a message file for whatever user number you are using but it
contains 0 bytes - delete it.  You will find it in the first data area
with name

MSDuuu000,uuu;

where uuu is the user number in extended Hex (base 36).
