28 \fIPrev\fR performs a \fIshow\fR on the previous message in the specified
29 (or current) folder. Like \fIshow\fR, it passes any switches on to
30 the program named by \fIshowproc\fR or \fIshowmimeproc\fR, which is called
31 to list the message. This command is almost exactly equivalent to
32 \*(lqshow prev\*(rq. Consult the manual entry for \fIshow\fR\0(1) for
35 ^$HOME/\&.mh\(ruprofile~^The user profile

53 If a folder is specified, it will become the current folder. The message
54 that is shown (i.e., the previous message in sequence) will become the
57 \fIprev\fR is really a link to the \fIshow\fR program. As a result, if
58 you make a link to \fIprev\fR and that link is not called \fIprev\fR,
59 your link will act like \fIshow\fR instead. To circumvent this, add a
60 profile\-entry for the link to your \fInmh\fR profile and add the argument
61 \fIprev\fR to the entry.
