in your MH profile set something like
sequence-negation: ^
(some people use "not" I believe).
Then just use ^foo where you would otherwise use foo.

mark +folder -seq bar -zero ^foo
Thanks Robert, that worked!

kre's correct. Another way is
pick -seq bar all
mark -s bar -d foo
That's an approach that extends to more complex set operations.
Nice! Also easy to understand. Thanks Ralph.

I could write a shell script, but can this be done more directly?
You could use "mark -seq bar -zero -delete foo". When used with -delete
the -zero switch first adds all messages from the selected folder to the
sequence that is specified with -seq instead of first emptying that sequence.
OK, all in one command, thanks!
