Library /sys$common/syshlp/mailhelp.hlb MAIL Commands  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    To enter Mail commands, invoke Mail at the DCL prompt ($) and
    then enter commands at the MAIL> prompt. These commands can be
    abbreviated to unique, shorter forms (usually as short as one
    letter). Note that D is the short form of the DELETE command
    (not the DIRECTORY command) and R is the short form of the REPLY
    command (not the READ command).

    Mail provides commands that enable you to do the following:

    o  Read and organize mail messages.

    o  Exchange mail messages with other users.

    o  Delete mail messages.

    o  Tailor your Mail environment.

    o  Exit from Mail or transfer control to another process while
       still in Mail.

    o  Make hardcopies of mail messages.

    The following table lists all the available Mail commands by
    functional category:
