Previous-Sequence: pseq
which solves my other long-standing annoyance about mh sequences:
if i do "show unseen" i can't then do "rmm unseen", because, of
course, they're no longer unseen. but i can now do "rmm pseq"
and it works just like i wanted.
I have a script with three names (links): cpseq, mvseq, and rmseq.
They work like cp(1), mv(1), and rm(1), but for sequences. For
instance, you could do:
cpseq unseen temp
then you'd have a copy of the unseen sequence that stays around
until you get rid of it. The guts of the Bourne shell script is:
case "$myname" in
cpseq) mark -add -seq "$2" -zero "$1" ;;
mvseq) mark -add -seq "$2" -zero "$1" && mark -del -seq "$1" "$1" ;;
rmseq) # Remove each sequence by passing 'mark -delete' all its members:
for arg
do mark -delete -seq "$arg" "$arg"
done

hey jerry, you know, you should really consider writing a book about
all this... ;-)
I really need to update the book; I haven't really touched it
since 1999. It's just a matter of getting a month to spare. :-(
Bill Wohler has been working on the MH-E section, by the way,
to update it for all the changes in that package.
If anyone has spare time or cycles to write missing parts --
such as the newer stuff added to nmh -- I'd sure be glad to
add it to the book and give lots of credit to whoever does it!
Jerry
