Subject: [Q] How to unselect?

Sunos 4.1.3.

I am really enjoying the new features.  Just started playing with select and
apply.  After selecting a bunch of messages and saving them to a new folder,
I wanted to select a different bunch of messages and save them to a
pre-existing folder.  I could not figure out how to unselect the first group
without expunging.  Select and zoom might be the neatest feature except for
the implicit editor, but if I cannot figure how to unselect articles, this
will be less useful than it might be.

Pointers appreciated.

	Well, after you have saved them...or did whatever you want to them
all you have to do is ";" (Select) again and you will be given the option
to unselect.

If you have anything selected the next select has the following options

              A unselect All   B Broaden selctn
^C Cancel     C [unselect Cur] N Narrow selctn

Now 'A'/'C' clears selection(s) and 'B'/'N' modify the current list
of selected messages by adding/removing the specified messages.

>Pointers appreciated.

I received two messages explaining this about the same time I figured it
out.  One of them also brought my attention to the broaden and narrow
choices which I had not appreciated yet.

In short, if you have selections and press ; again, then you are given
several choices including unselect.
