Title:  How do I save  a whole group of messages to a folder in WebPine?

Question:
I have a block of messages that I would like to move to a
folder.  How do I do that?

Answer:
You can do this as follows:

(a) There are two sets of powerful controls that may or may not be exposed
    at the top of your list of messages.  If they are not fully exposed
    they appear as tiny rectangular icons near the left edge and just
    above the message list and look somewhat like this: [>  ].  Click on
    these icons to expose them.  The set of interest here looks like this:

    Search and Mark     Message Status      Save Messages
    [Search] [Show...]  [Set] status [...]  [Save] to [saved-messages|v]

    The control "[saved-messages|v]" is actually a drop down list that
    initially contains three items:

         saved-messages
         [folder I type in]
         [folder in folder list]

    but as you store messages in different folders, it expands up to eight
    items, six of which are folder names.  If you click the [Save] button,
    the current message is stored in the folder that appears at the top of
    the list (initially this is "saved-messages"].  But as you save
    messages in different folders, the most recent folder is stored at the
    top of the list and pushes the others down until the least recently
    used folder is lost.  If you expand the drop down list you can save a
    message by clicking on any folder name in the list, or you can type in
    the name of a folder, or browse to a desired folder

(b) To save a whole group of messages, click the checkbox that appears to
    the left of each message, and then either click on the folder in the
    drop down list, or type in a new folder, or browse to a folder to
    save the group of messages.  All of the messages whose checkboxes
    were checked are marked as "Deleted" in the current folder and
    are stored in the folder you selected.
