[Ham-Computers] Re Windows 95b and Moving Files From The In BoxAssistane, Please

[Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC)]

Hi Duane,

If you can select a message but not open ie ie not have the screen 
reading software start, then hold down SHIFT button and continue 
selecting the messages by pressing the down arrow (the one closest to 
you). That will select all the messages one after another but you do not 
say if the messages are one after another or interspersed with other 
messages that do not need to be moved to the NASA folder. I have been 
trying to select only certain random messages myself using the keyboard 
and have been unable to as yet.
