And, as junior-helper said, the commands:
checks to see of the destination directory ($dd) exists. If it does not exist, the then clause creates the directory. Since this test is performed each time through the loop, we expect that the directory will not exist the first time through the loop after the destination directory changes. On subsequent times through the loop with other files destined for the same target directory, it will already exist and no attempt will be made to create it again.

I know that 'brute-force' scripting could accomplish this with lots of cat/echo/cut/grep and more. But, because my real file has 800k records, and the matching files have 10-20k records, this is not time-possible or efficient.
I have input file:

I need to find a smarter way to process about 60,000 files in a single directory.
Every night a script runs on each file generating a output on another directory; this used to take 5 hours, but as the data grows it is taking 7 hours.
The files are of different sizes, but there are 16 cores... (10 Replies)

rmf(1mh)rmf(1mh)Name
rmf - remove folder
Syntax
rmf [ +folder ] [ -help ] [ -[no]interactive ]
Description
The command removes all of the messages within the current folder, and then removes the folder itself. If there are any files within the
folder which are not part of MH, they are not removed, and an error message is displayed.
You can specify a folder other than the current folder by using the +folder argument. If you do not specify a folder, and cannot find the
current folder, asks you whether you want to delete instead.
If the current folder is removed, it makes current.
Note that the command irreversibly deletes messages that do not have other links, so use it with caution.
If the folder being removed is a sub-folder, the parent folder becomes the new current folder, and tells you that this has happened. This
provides an easy mechanism for selecting a set of messages, operating on the list, then removing the list and returning to the current
folder from which the list was extracted.
Using to delete a read-only folder deletes the private sequence and current message information from the file, without affecting the folder
itself. If you have sub-folders within a folder, you must delete all the sub-folders before you can delete the folder itself.
Options-help Prints a list of the valid options to this command.
-interactive
-nointeractive
Asks for confirmation before deleting a folder. By default, deletes a folder and its messages without asking for confirmation.
If you specify the -interactive option, asks if you are sure before deleting the folder. You are advised to use this option,
since when deletes a folder its contents are lost irretrievably.
Examples
This example shows how asks for confirmation when the -interactive option is used:
% rmf -interactive +test
Remove folder "test"? y
