This command now works fine with the pipe, BUT it doesnt work when issued 
from the command line WITHOUT the message number, ie, if I do something like:

prompt N> for<RET>
To: whoever@wherever<RET>

it DOES NOT do it's job, although it DOES prompt whome to send the
message. However, if one does it in the following way:

prompt N> for N<RET>
To: whoever@wherever<RET>

Forwarding message N ....

then the message actually gets forwarded. In the original cmd this wasn't
the problem. Is there a way to have both problems solved at once?
