After selecting the message(s) you want, you can operate on them as a group
using the "a" (for "apply") command.  This allows you to "apply" the commands
"save," "export," "delete" and a variety of others to your selected messages.

It should be ';'. Afterwards, you can 'a'pply any action to selected
messages.
