i am wanting to forward my e-mail to another account, but want to keep a
copy to this e-mail address. i know how to create a .forward
in the shell, do i put this e-mail address on a separate line?
for example i want to forward my e-mail to the folling

how do i fix it to where i can get the
e-mail in 2 or more addresses?
i am blind, and have learned about shells over the years, but this
question
has me stumped. thanks for reading.

it works, i put 3 e-mail addresses on separate lines, and chcked the
accounts, and it sure works, i have voice e-mail that i can hear over the
phone, and it works perfectly, so thanks for all the e-mail about the
question.

This is covered in the man page (ie, "man forward"), but basically you
can have multiple addressees. Something like:
