Mail:  Forwarding your mail to another address


Q.  I've got an account on halcyon (mickey@halcyon.com) and would like to
    forward my mail to another address (minnie@tonka.edu) while I'm
    visiting there for a month.  How do I do this?

A.  For Shell and Personal SLIP/PPP accounts, forwarding mail is set up the
    same way:  log in to king.halcyon.com and get to the shell prompt.  Then
    create a file named:

         .forward

    ...in your home directory that contains the address to which you want
    your mail forwarded.  A easy way to do this is by typing the following:

         cd
         cat > .forward
         minnie@tonka.edu
         ^D
         chmod 644 .forward

    The ^D means to type CTRL-D.

    When you wish to stop forwarding your mail, delete the .forward file:

         rm .forward

    To get to the shell prompt from the shell menu, press ENTER at the menu.
    To get to a shell prompt if you have a Personal SLIP/PPP account, use
    a telnet client to log in to king.halcyon.com using your name and
    password.  A telnet client is included with the Chameleon Sampler for
    Windows.  NCSA Telnet is the standard telnet client for the Macintosh;
    you can retrieve it from any of the Info-Mac archives listed in your
    bookmarks for Fetch or Anarchie, or from:

         <ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu//Mac/Telnet/>
