11 When a user runs any \fIMH\fR program for the first time,
12 the program will invoke \fIinstall\-mh\fR (with the `\-auto' switch)
13 to query the user for the initial \fIMH\fR environment.
14 The user does \fBNOT\fR invoke this program directly.
15 The user is asked for the name of the directory that will be designated
16 as the user's \fIMH\fR directory.
17 If this directory does not exist, the user is asked if it should be
19 Normally, this directory should be under the user's home directory,
20 and has the default name of Mail/.
21 After \fIinstall\-mh\fR has written the initial \&.mh\(ruprofile for
23 control returns to the original \fIMH\fR program.

26 \fIinstall\-mh\fR first consults the \fB$HOME\fR envariable to
27 determine the user's home directory.
28 If \fB$HOME\fR is not set,
29 then the \fI/etc/passwd\fR file is consulted.
