PREV(1) 		     General Commands Manual			 PREV(1)

NAME
     prev - show the previous nmh message

SYNOPSIS
     prev [-help] [-version] [+folder] [-showproc program] [-showmimeproc pro-
	  gram] [-header | -noheader] [-checkmime | -nocheckmime] [switches for
	  showproc or showmimeproc]

DESCRIPTION
     prev  performs a show on the previous message in the specified (or current)
     folder.  Like show, it passes any switches on to the program named by show-
     proc or showmimeproc, which is called to list the message.  This command is
     almost exactly equivalent to "show prev".	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 nmh directory
     Current-Folder:	  To find the default current folder
     showproc:		  Program to show non-MIME messages
     showmimeproc:	  Program to show MIME messages

SEE ALSO
     next(1), show(1)

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

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

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