in a dos box, type filter, then the insert key.

at the first line type jokes
Use the arrow keys to move to subject there should be a * there. Hit
enter.

The cursor will be on the line "Search" type joke: <<enter>>
Leave match case to no <<enter>>
At move to folder/newsgroup type joke <<enter>>

Henceforworth, any mail with joke: in the subject moves to folder joke.

To move to a newsgroup do:
cd yarn

newgroup joke 3 3

This keeps the jokes around for three days beteewn expire runs. If you
want longer pick what numbers make you happy.

I would set this to suess but I can not can not.
