Can you do this? An &move to a known location then &del seems messy!

Move and delete is probably the way to go.
Putting it into the code is messy, too. Solving
problems with existing tools is a kind of
clean way of doing things. Sort of a 'Unix'
method of piping things around. If it were
something that 20 people wanted to do on a daily
basis then I would consider it.

I haven't seen it yet (always seems to work out), but didn't you say there was a potential problem with Indirect commands in that an &%move and an &%del don't have to be worked out in the order they were initiated in a filter?

you can issue a &DELAY to the &DEL

Or just &Move it to a 'Trash' room. And have
a DSA that simply deletes everything that goes into
the room. A pressurePad in the room could trigger
the DSA. Then your filter would look more nearly
simple. "Send it to the Landfill".

And you could share your 'Trashman' DSA as
a standard tool for use by others less adept at
writing such things.

Speaking of which, is the syntax to &DEL documented anywhere?

It's not on the list: http://www.dianneandpaul.net/CSBwin/doc ... guage.html

In the DSA dialog 'Help'

It's actually the opposite syntax to the &ADD (without pos mask)
