NAME
  next - show the next message (only available within the message handling
  system, mh)

SYNOPSIS
  next [ +foldername ] [ -[no]header ] [ -help ] [ -showproc program  ] [
  -noshowproc ] [ options to showproc ]

DESCRIPTION
  The command next displays the next message in the current folder.  The next
  message is the one after the current message in the folder.  The message
  that is shown becomes the current message.

  If you name a folder using the +folder argument, next displays the next
  message in the folder you specify.  That folder becomes the current folder.

FLAGS
  -header
  -noheader Displays a one-line header before the message.  The header
	    consists of the name of the folder and the message number.	This
	    is the default behavior.  It can be suppressed with the -noheader
	    option.

  -help	    Prints a list of the valid options to this command.

  -showproc program [ options ]
  -noshowproc
	    Specifies an alternative program to list messages.	The default
	    is to use the program defined by the showproc: entry in the
	    .mh_profile file.  As with show, you can give options to the
	    showproc program at the command line.  These are passed directly
	    to showproc by next.

  The defaults for this command are:

       +folder defaults to the current folder
       -header

RESTRICTIONS
  The next command is really a link to the show program.  As a result, if you
  make a link to next and that link is not called next, your link will act
  like show instead.  To avoid this, add a profile-entry for the link to your
  .mh_profile and add the argument next to the entry.

PROFILE COMPONENTS
  Path:	      To determine the user's Mail directory
  showproc:   Program to show the message

FILES
  $HOME/.mh_profile
	    The user profile.
