INSTALL-MH(8)		     System Manager's Manual		   INSTALL-MH(8)

NAME
     install-mh - initialize the MH environment

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

DESCRIPTION
     When a user runs any MH program for the first time, the program 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 origi-
     nal 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 automatically 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".

[mh.6]				     MH.6.8			   INSTALL-MH(8)
