install-mh(8)
NAME
  install-mh - initialize the MH environment

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

DESCRIPTION
  When a user runs any MH program for the first time, the program invokes
  install-mh (with the -auto switch) to query the user for the initial MH
  environment. The user does not invoke this program directly. The program
  prompts for the name of the directory to be designated as the user's Mail
  directory. If this directory does not exist, install-mh asks 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 environment
  variable to determine the user's home directory. If $HOME is not set, then
  the /etc/passwd file is consulted.

  If the -auto option is used, the current folder is changed to +inbox.

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

FILES
  $HOME/.mh_profile
      User profile.
