MAIL MOVE — MicroVMS 4.5B

  Moves the current message to the specified folder.  You can use  the
  MOVE  command and the FILE command interchangeably because they work
  the same way.

  If you enter the MOVE command, supply a folder-name, and then decide
  that you do not want to move the message, enter CTRL/Z.  CTRL/Z will
  abort the operation and keep you within MAIL.

   Format:

       MOVE folder-name [file-name]
