     NAME
	  rmf -	remove an MH folder

     SYNOPSIS
	  rmf [+folder]	[-interactive] [-nointeractive]	[-help]

     DESCRIPTION
	  Rmf removes all of the messages (files) within the specified
	  (or default) folder, and then	removes	the folder (directory)
	  itself.  If there are	any files within the folder which are
	  not a	part of	MH, they will not be removed, and an error
	  will be produced.  If	the folder is given explicitly or the
	  `-nointeractive' option is given, then the folder will be
	  removed without confirmation.	 Otherwise, the	user will be
	  asked	for confirmation.  If rmf can't	find the current
	  folder, for some reason, the folder to be removed defaults
	  to `+inbox' (unless overridden by user's profile entry
	  Inbox) with confirmation.

	  Rmf irreversibly deletes messages that don't have other
	  links, so use	it with	caution.

	  If the folder	being removed is a subfolder, the parent
	  folder will become the new current folder, and rmf will
	  produce a message telling the	user this has happened.	 This
	  provides an easy mechanism for selecting a set of messages,
	  operating on the list, then removing the list	and returning
	  to the current folder	from which the list was	extracted.

	  Rmf of a read-only folder will delete	the private sequence
	  and cur information (i.e., atr-seq-folder entries) from the
	  profile without affecting the	folder itself.

     FILES
	  $HOME/.mh_profile		      The user profile

     PROFILE COMPONENTS
	  Path:		       To determine the	user's MH directory
	  Current-Folder:      To find the default current folder
	  Inbox:	       To find the default inbox

     SEE ALSO
	  rmm(1)

     DEFAULTS
	  `+folder' defaults to	the current folder, usually with confirmation
	  `-interactive' if +folder' not given,	`-nointeractive' otherwise

     CONTEXT
	  Rmf will set the current folder to the parent	folder if a
	  subfolder is removed;	or if the current folder is removed,
	  it will make inbox current.  Otherwise, it doesn't change

	  the current folder or	message.

     BUGS
	  Although intuitively one would suspect that rmf works
	  recursively, it does not.  Hence if you have a sub-folder
	  within a folder, in order to rmf the parent, you must	first
	  rmf each of the children.
