Can someone point me to documentation for .forward files?  The only place I  
find anything about it is a reference in man vacation.  I've used Digital  
Librarian to search all of the NeXT docs, FAQ, NeXTAnswers...

If you're going to manage a Unix-type system, buy yourself some of
the normal documentation:

1. Buy Evi Nemeth's (with 2 others) _Unix System Administration
Handbook._

2. Join Usenix and buy its BSD Unix manual set.

Here's my .forward file; I hope it helps:

|/usr/local/bin/deliver irving

Here's an older version with two recipients:

irving@happy-man.com, |/Net/beauty/usr/local/bin/newmail irving

Now you know your answer, probably, but go buy the books anyway.
You'll be glad you did!
