Yes, this would be nice but it can't happen.
Deleting the email message is just a matter of passing the filename to
DOS, and it finds and deletes the file.
Adding a new hotlist entry is also just a matter of telling DOS to append
CLIP.tmp to the END of the hotlist.
The problem is that DOS can't edit the hotlist to remove something in the
middle, but while writing this it occurred to me that using DOS to pipe
the hotlist thru "FIND", passing only those lines that DON'T contain the
target (which is in CLIP.tmp) to a new copy of the hotlist might actually
work. So maybe it CAN work, at least in theory.
Details re: file names omitted above, but maybe it would be most efficient
to rename the original hotlist to hot.tmp and pipe the filtered output to
a new hotlist.htm.
