Okay, this is an easy one.  What is the command to delete say all
the messages starting from 1 to 400 with one command without having to
type d for every single one of the 400 messages?

Yeah, this should be an easy one for a sysadmin.

I'm really confused about this one, Terry. A Unix Admin/Web Master and
wanting to know that?

Uh, I use PINE 3.96 and select using ";" and then "N" for number and the
range of numbers. Seems pretty simple--hope it wasn't a trick question. :)
