Our MIPS (MIPS RC3350 - Unix System V Release 3 / RISC/os 4.52A) supports
"forward" via a command line option:

     -Fpersons
        entered into an empty mailbox, causes all incoming mail
        to be forwarded to persons.

and

     To forward all of one's mail to systema!user enter:

        mail -Fsystema!user

The FMP (Fine Man Page :^) doesn't mention .forward at all.  The one for
our SUN does ...

Hope it helps (tm).
