	  Under 4.[23] BSD create a file in your home directory
	named ".forward".  For the simple case, just place the
	address you wish the mail forwarded to in this file.

	  See also USD-07 _Mail_Reference_Manual_ for a complete
	description on the use of Mail under BSD Unix.  This document
	comes with BSD 4.3 (perhaps 4.2 also), and the 'roff source
	lives below /usr/doc/usd (at least it does on my vax).
