This gets all the traffic from emv (some user), as files in the subdir "junk",
to munch them into a single file, use packf, e.g.,

	folder +junk			# set the current folder to "junk"
	packf [range] -file yard	# mush them into the file "yard"
	rmf +junk			# rm -rf "junk"

Note: the highly technical semantics of "munch" and "mush" are not implied in
this note, they are ment to be understood by my seven year old daughter would,
were she to use anything more complex than MINITEL.
