To enter Mail commands, invoke Mail at the DCL prompt ($) and then enter commands at the MAIL> prompt. These commands can be abbreviated to unique, shorter forms (usually as short as one letter). Note that D is the short form of the DELETE command (not the DIRECTORY command) and R is the short form of the REPLY command (not the READ command). Mail provides commands that enable you to do the following: o Read and organize mail messages. o Exchange mail messages with other users. o Delete mail messages. o Tailor your Mail environment. o Exit from Mail or transfer control to another process while still in Mail. o Make hardcopies of mail messages.
