Go into Setup/Config and put an X for enable-aggregate-command-set under
feature list if it isn't enabled already.  Then when you display the
articles (as well as your mail messages), hit the ';' character.  Then hit
the 'N' key, which will allow you to specify ranges.  Next, hit 'A' then
'D'.  That will delete the messages you selected.

If you want to get rid of ALL the articles or mail messages in one shot,
index the messages on your screen, then tap in this key sequence (it
doesn't matter where you are in the index):

;AAD (the two As are correct)

Looks weird, but that's how you do it.  HTH!

    Go into your configuration screens and read the online help
information about aggregate commands.  (There may be something about
aggregate commands in the Help off the Main Menu, although I haven't
looked at that in a while.  It certainly never hurts to read it,
though.)
