Editing Messages 

If you want to work on a message you have received you always have to
move or copy it to your Work Area first.  For instance, if you want to
edit, convert or decrypt a message before you move it to your Filing
Cabinet you first have to copy the message from your In Tray to your Work
Area.

To work on messages you receive: 

   *   If you want to work on the whole message you can MOVE it to your
       Work Area.  For example:

            Intray > MOVE 1 TO WORKAREA Return 

   *   If you want to work on the Distribution List you can COPY it to
       your List Area.  For example:

            Intray > OPEN 3 Return 
            MESSAGE 3 > COPY 1 TO LISTAREA Return 

   *   If you want to work on the text part of a message you can COPY it
       to your Work Area.  For example:

            Intray > OPEN 1 Return 
            MESSAGE 1 > COPY 2 TO WORKAREA Return 

       Further Information 

   *   You cannot RENAME messages in your In Tray, but you can rename
       those messages you copy to your Work Area.  For example:

            Workarea > RENAME 15 Return 
            Subject : newname Return
