Changing Folders with the "go to folder" command

DESCRIPTION

Do you move from folder to folder by using the arrow keys when the list of folders is on your screen? This method works fairly well when you only have a few folders, but, as they multiply, accessing them in this way can be cumbersome. You may want to try using the "Go to Fldr" function in PINE.

From many points within PINE (e.g., when you are viewing a message), press "g" to go to your folder of choice. Type in the name of the folder you wish to open and press <Return>. PINE will open the chosen folder and display the index of messages on the screen.
