NEXT(1)                       [mh.6]                      NEXT(1)


NAME
       next - show the next message

SYNOPSIS
       next  [+folder]  [-header] [-noheader] [-showproc program]
            [-noshowproc] [switches for showproc] [-help]

DESCRIPTION
       Next performs a show on the next message in the  specified
       (or current) folder.  Like show, it passes any switches on
       to the program showproc, which is called to list the  mes-
       sage.   This  command is almost exactly equivalent to show
       next.  Consult the manual entry for show (1) for  all  the
       details.

FILES
       $HOME/.mh_profile                     The user profile

PROFILE COMPONENTS
       Path:                To determine the user's MH directory
       Current-Folder:      To find the default current folder
       showproc:            Program to show the message

SEE ALSO
       show(1), prev(1)

DEFAULTS
       `+folder' defaults to the current folder
       `-format'
       `-header'

CONTEXT
       If  a  folder  is  specified,  it  will become the current
       folder.  The message that is shown (i.e., the next message
       in sequence) will become the current message.

BUGS
       next  is  really a link to the show program.  As a result,
       if you make a link to next and that  link  is  not  called
       next, your link will act like show instead.  To circumvent
       this, add a profile-entry for the link to your MH  profile
       and add the argument next to the entry.
