An associate of mine is trying to use xmh on a Sun SPARCstation and isn't able
to get started. The bugs section of the man page contains the following:
- Should determine by itself if the user hasn't used MH
before, and offer to create the .mh_profile, instead of
hanging on inc.
This leads me to believe that this file must be present to get it to work
properly.
The problem is that he always gets the message "execvp failed" in a popup
window. Well, that's not quite true; the `exit' command works just fine. Is
there some way to get around this error?

You should do this before using xmh to incorporate new mail. This seemed to work for me, I hope it helps. -- Tom --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom McConnell | Internet: tmcconne@berger.intel.com | Intel, Corp. | If I had something to say, I would say it, right? 5000 W.

Thanks to all who responded to my question about xmh. It turns out that there is a news group comp.mail.mh and my question was answered in the FAQ. -- tom, ekberg@asl.dl.nec.com (x3503)
