INSTALL-MH(8) UNIX Programmer's Manual INSTALL-MH(8) NAME install-mh - initialize the MH environment SYNOPSIS /usr/misc/mh/lib/install-mh [-auto] [-compat] 9 When a user runs any _M_H program for the first time, the pro- gram will invoke _i_n_s_t_a_l_l-_m_h (with the `-auto' switch) to query the user for the initial _M_H environment. The user does NOT invoke this program directly. The user is asked for the name of the directory that will be designated as the user's _M_H directory. If this directory does not exist, the user is asked if it should be created. Normally, this directory should be under the user's home directory, and has the default name of Mail/. After _i_n_s_t_a_l_l-_m_h has written the initial .mh_profile for the user, control returns to the original _M_H program. As with all _M_H commands, _i_n_s_t_a_l_l-_m_h first consults the $HOME envariable to determine the user's home directory. If $HOME is not set, then the /_e_t_c/_p_a_s_s_w_d file is consulted. When converting from _m_h._3 to _m_h._4, _i_n_s_t_a_l_l-_m_h is automati- cally invoked with the `-compat' switch. FILES $HOME/.mh_profile The user profile PROFILE COMPONENTS Path: To set the user's MH directory CONTEXT With `-auto', the current folder is changed to "inbox". 9 Printed 1/10/87 MH 1
