This sounds a bit more like it, cut and paste would make things much
easier. However I can't follow your description of what to do.
Do you mean 'c' rather than 'C', that is the change-folder command and
if I then enter '?' I get to browse directories/folders. So far so
good. But then if I hit TAB it just exits back to my intial mailbox
display. What/where is "file browsing mode"?
Sorry if I'm being obtuse, but I'm confused.
