       When  a  user  runs any _M_H program for the first time, the
       program will invoke _i_n_s_t_a_l_l_-_m_h (with the  `-auto'  switch)
       to  query  the  user  for the initial _M_H environment.  The
       user does NNOOTT invoke this program directly.  The  user  is
       asked  for  the  name of the directory that will be desig-
       nated as the user's _M_H directory.  If this directory  does
       not  exist,  the  user  is  asked if it should be created.
       Normally, this directory should be under the  user's  home
       directory,  and  has  the  default  name  of Mail/.  After
       _i_n_s_t_a_l_l_-_m_h has written the  initial  .mh_profile  for  the
       user, control returns to the original _M_H program.

       As  with  all  _M_H  commands, _i_n_s_t_a_l_l_-_m_h first consults the
       $$HHOOMMEE envariable to determine the user's  home  directory.
       If  $$HHOOMMEE  is  not  set, then the _/_e_t_c_/_p_a_s_s_w_d file is con-
       sulted.

       When converting from _m_h_._3 to _m_h_._4, _i_n_s_t_a_l_l_-_m_h is automati-
       cally invoked with the `-compat' switch.
