You're right - according to the manual, I see. _But_ even when I change
mailbox, then hit '-' without touching any other key, I still get:

There isn't any prompt when just sitting in the index.
Pressing only '-' gives the error.

Is that paragraph setting out to conflate 'c' <up> with some other use
of <up>, in an unrelated context?

When it's working, do repeated '-' step backwards through the previously
visited mailboxes, as 'c' <up> does? (The manual is unclear, and I can't
test it.)
