Index NAME
prev - show the previous message
SYNOPSIS
prev [+folder] [-header] [-noheader][-showproc program] [-noshowproc][-switches for
showproc][-help]
DESCRIPTION
Prev performs a
show on the previous message in the specified(or current) folder.Like
show, it passes any switches on to theprogram named by
showproc, which is called to list the message.This commandis almost exactly equivalent to ``show prev''.Consult the manual entry for
show (1) for all the details.^$HOME/.mh_profile~^The user profile^Path:~^To determine the user's MH directory^Current-Folder:~^To find the default current folder^showproc:~^Program to show the message
show(1),
next(1)`+folder' defaults to the current folder`-header'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 current message.
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 instead.To circumvent this,add a profile-entry for the link to your
MH profile and add theargument
prev to the entry.
