-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B Comp
-is used to create a new message to be mailed. It copies a
-message form to the draft being composed and then invokes an editor on
-the draft (unless
-.B \-noedit
-is given, in which case the initial edit is suppressed).
-.PP
-The default message form contains the following elements:
-.PP
-.RS 5
-.nf
-%components%
-.fi
-.RE
-.PP
-If a file named
-.RI \*(lq components \*(rq
-exists in the user's mmh directory,
-it will be used instead of this form. You may specify an alternate
-forms file with the switch
-.B \-form
-.IR formfile .
-.PP
-You may also start
-.B comp
-using the contents of an existing message
-as the form. If you supply either a
-.I +folder
-or
-.I msg
-argument, that
-message will be used as the message form. You may not supply both a
-.B \-form
-.I formfile
-and a
-.I +folder
-or
-.I msg
-argument. The line of
-dashes or a blank line must be left between the header and the body of
-the message for the message to be identified properly when it is sent
-(see
-.BR send (1)).
-.PP
-The switch
-.B \-use
-directs
-.B comp
-to continue editing an already
-started message. That is, if a
-.B comp
-(or
-.BR dist ,
-.BR repl ,
-or
-.BR forw )
-is terminated without sending the draft, the draft can
-be edited again via
-.RB \*(lq comp
-.BR \-use \*(rq.
-.PP
-The
-.B \-file
-.I file
-switch says to use the named file as the message draft.
-.PP
-If the draft already exists,
-.B comp
-will ask you as to the disposition
-of the draft. A reply of
-.B quit
-will abort
-.BR comp ,
-leaving the draft intact;
-.B replace
-will replace the existing draft with
-the appropriate form;
-.B list
-will display the draft;
-.B use
-will use the draft for further composition; and
-.B refile
-.I +folder
-will file the draft in the given folder, and give you a new draft with the
-appropriate form. (The
-.I +folder
-argument to
-.B refile
-is required.)
-.PP
-Consult the
-.BR mh-draft (5)
-man page for more information.
-.PP
-The
-.B \-editor
-.I editor
-switch indicates the editor to use for the
-initial edit. Upon exiting from the editor,
-.B comp
-will invoke the
-.B whatnow
-program. See
-.BR whatnow (1)
-for a discussion of
-available options. The invocation of this program can be inhibited
-by using the
-.B \-nowhatnowproc
-switch. (In truth of fact, it is
-the
-.I whatnow
-program which starts the initial edit. Hence,
-.B \-nowhatnowproc
-will prevent any edit from occurring.)

-.SH CONTEXT
-None
-
-.SH BUGS
-If
-.I whatnowproc
-is
-.BR whatnow ,
-then
-.B comp
-uses a built\-in
-.BR whatnow ,
-it does not actually run the
-.B whatnow
-program.
-Hence, if you define your own
-.IR whatnowproc ,
-don't call it
-.B whatnow
-since
-.B comp
-won't run it.
