INSTALL-MH(8)       RISC/os Reference Manual        INSTALL-MH(8)



NAME
     install-mh - initialize the MH environment

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/new/lib/mh/install-mh [-auto] [-compat]

DESCRIPTION
     When a user runs any MH program for the first time, the pro-
     gram will invoke install-mh (with the `-auto' switch) to
     query the user for the initial MH 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 MH 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 install-mh has written the
     initial .mh_profile for the user, control returns to the
     original MH program.

     As with all MH commands, install-mh first consults the $HOME
     envariable to determine the user's home directory.  If $HOME
     is not set, then the /etc/passwd file is consulted.

     When converting from mh.3 to mh.4, install-mh is automati-
     cally invoked with the `-compat' switch.

PROFILE COMPONENTS
     Path:                To set the user's MH directory

CONTEXT
