- GET - go to another mail file
-
- Usage: GET [filename]
-
- The GET command brings you to another mail file. All MM commands then
- apply to that file. Other mail files can be created with the
- commands MOVE, COPY or WRITE, or by sending mail to a file (using an FCC
- field, for example). The mail file you are reading now is your
- "current mail file".
-
- If you do not specify a directory, GET assumes the one set by MAIL-
- DIRECTORY, which by default is your home directory.
-
- GET with no filename always returns you to your main mail file, set by
- MAIL-FILE, which by default is "mbox".
-
- EXAMINE is similar to GET, but retrieves the mail file in
- read-only mode so that you cannot accidentally change the file.
-
- For more help type "help" and one of these topics:
- examine copy move filing cd write
- set mail-directory set mail-file
