install-mh

PURPOSE

     Initializes the MH environment.

SYNOPSIS
      install-mh [-auto]


DESCRIPTION

     The install-mh command is used to set up mailbox directo-
     ries.  install-mh is  not designed to be  run directly by
     the user; it is designed  to be called by other programs.
     The install-mh  command is part  of the MH  (Message Han-
     dling) package.

     The install-mh command is  issued automatically the first
     time you run any MH  command.  install-mh prompts you for
     the name of  your mail directory.  If  the directory does
     not exist, install-mh  asks you if it  should be created.
     install-mh creates the  file $HOME/.mh_profile and places
     the Path:   profile entry  in it.  This  entry identifies
     the location of your mailbox.

FLAG

     -auto  Creates the standard MH path without prompting.

PROFILE ENTRY

     Path:    Specifies your user_mh_directory.  This entry is
              created by install-mh.

FILES

     $HOME/.mh_profile    The MH user profile.
