dswitch=1 literally means that value 1 is assigned to the variable dswitch, but I used that variable name to "remember" that the script was started with the "-d" option. One could interpret it as "script started with -d option?"="YES".
It's related to the second if statement in the for loop, which decides if all subfolders of a specific directory need to be shown too or not.

       of the specified range as possible.

       first	 The first message in the folder.

       last	 The last message in the folder.
