Hi,
Is it possible to delete a few messages one at a time, for example, delete
messages from #1 - 20. (instead of pressing "d" in each message to
delete it).

Thank's,
Stephen

I'm using Pine 3.91.  I access it with the telnet program that comes with 
Win5.  I've noticed that when reading a message, the percentage number in 
the top right corner doesn't change when I go to the next page of the 
message.  Also, the ctrl-^ doesn't work. What gives?

Yep, use the ';'-Select command, and then the 'A'-Apply command.
Aggregate commands must be enabled (see your feature lists in your
configuration) for this to work...

Thank's for the information.
But still I have to select every message right.  If I have 100 messages
that I want to delete, I still have to select them one by one & apply the 
delete.
Is there any command to delete it with specifying the number of the
message (for example, I will be able to  delete my 100 messages say only
by typing "delete 1-100")? 

Thank's again,
Stephen

         FEATURE: enable-aggregate-command-set

Setting this feature enables the commands and subcommands that relate to
performing operations on more than one message at a time. We call these
"aggregate operations". In particular, the "; Select", "A Apply", and "Z
Zoom" commands are enabled by this feature. Select is used to "tag" one or
more messages meeting the specified criteria. Apply can then be used to
apply any message command to all of the selected/tagged messages. Further,
the Zoom command allows you to toggle the Folder Index view between just
those Selected and all messages in the folder.

This feature also enables the "^X" subcommand in the FOLDER INDEX WhereIs
command which causes all messages matching the WhereIs argument to become
selected.

Ok? Check the FAQ or the users guide, too... *mubmlemumble* :-)

Later,
Robin

When you hit the ';' key - it gives you a bunch of options for selection.
You can select all messages with certain text in them, or certain numbers
for example.  To delete message 1 - 100, hit ; for select, n for number,
and type 1-100, and then apply a delete...
