<P>
This version of <I>folder</I> called <I>fo</I> just does
<I>folder -fast</I>.
You can also add parameters on the <I>fo</I> command line to:
<UL>
<LI>
Check the name of your current folder.
<LI>
Change the current message number.
<LI>
Change to a new folder.
<LI>
A combination of the above.
</UL>
Here's how to make the last message current and see the folder name:
<PRE>
% <B>fo last</B>
inbox
</PRE>
To make <I>fo</I> as a version of <I>folder</I>, see the Section
<A HREF="makcom.htm">Making a New Command Version</A>.
To make an alias or function, see the Section
<A HREF="wcvaaof.htm">Writing Command Versions as Aliases or Functions</A>.
<P>
Add this entry to your MH profile, or add the arguments to your alias
or function:
<PRE>
fo: -fast
</PRE>
