that is something that I have not been able to figure out.

For instance from the above status, it says there are 6 messages in
archive, what would be the command to say get the messages from the
archive ?

$gnokii --getsms something .

I've not been really been able to figure out the memory_type thing

Should it have been

 $gnokii --getsms AR 1-6

or something else ?

Ok, that means then it would be a week-end project as the list to do
things is quite a bit and possibility of me doing something wrong is
even greater (as not a programmer) .
