        !            15: \fIRmf\fR removes all of the messages (files) within the specified
        !            16: (or default) folder,
        !            17: and then removes the folder (directory) itself.
        !            18: If there are any files within the folder which are not a part of \fIMH\fR,
        !            19: they will \fInot\fR be removed, and an error will be produced.
        !            20: If the folder is given explicitly or the `\-nointeractive' option is given,
        !            21: then the folder will be removed without confirmation.
        !            22: Otherwise, the user will be asked for confirmation.
        !            23: If \fIrmf\fR can't find the current folder, for some reason,
        !            24: the folder to be removed defaults to `+inbox' with confirmation.
        !            25: 
        !            26: \fIRmf\fR irreversibly deletes messages that don't have other links,
        !            27: so use it with caution.
        !            28: 
        !            29: If the folder being removed is a subfolder, the parent
        !            30: folder will become the new current folder, and \fIrmf\fR will
        !            31: produce a message telling the user this has happened.
        !            32: This provides an easy mechanism for selecting a set of messages,
        !            33: operating on the list, then removing the list and returning to
        !            34: the current folder from which the list was extracted.
        !            35: 
        !            36: \fIRmf\fR of a read\-only folder will delete the private sequence
        !            37: and cur information
        !            38: (i.e., \*(lqatr\-\fIseq\fR\-\fIfolder\fR\*(rq entries)
        !            39: from the profile without affecting the folder itself.

        !            49: `+folder' defaults to the current folder, usually with confirmation

        !            53: \fIRmf\fR will set the current folder to the parent folder if a
        !            54: subfolder is removed; or if the current folder is removed,
        !            55: it will make \*(lqinbox\*(rq current.
        !            56: Otherwise, it doesn't change the
        !            57: current folder or message.

        !            59: Although intuitively one would suspect that \fIrmf\fR works recursively,
        !            60: it does not.
        !            61: Hence if you have a sub\-folder within a folder,
        !            62: in order to \fIrmf\fR the parent,
        !            63: you must first \fIrmf\fR each of the children.
