NAME
       next  -	show  the next message (only available within the message han‐
       dling system, mh)

SYNOPSIS
       next [+foldername] [-[no]header] [-help] [-showproc program]  [-noshow‐
       proc] [options to showproc]

OPTIONS
       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.  Prints a
       list of the valid options to this command.   Specifies  an  alternative
       program	to list messages. The default is to use the program defined by
       the showproc: entry in the file. As with show, you can give options  to
       the  showproc program at the command line. These are passed directly to
       showproc by next. (If you specify an option that has a numerical value,
       leave  no  space	 between the argument and the value.  See RESTRICTIONS
       for more information.)

       The defaults for this command are:

       +folder defaults to the current folder
       -header

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.

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 and add the argument next to the entry.

       Also,  if you use the showproc switch to specify an alternative viewer,
       leave no space between the options specified with the viewer and	 their
       values.	For  example,  if  you	want to use the more command to scroll
       through messages in your inbox folder, and you want to pause every five
       lines,  you  would enter the following command, where there is no space
       between the option n and the value 5: % next +inbox -showproc more -n5

       If there is space between the option n and the  value  5,  the  command
       interprets 5 as a message number to view.

PROFILE COMPONENTS
       Path: To determine the user's Mail directory

       showproc: Program to show the message

FILES
       The user profile.
