-.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fIvmh\fR is a program which implements the server side of the \fInmh\fR
-window management protocol and uses \fIcurses\fR\0(3) routines to maintain
-a split\-screen interface to any program which implements the client
-side of the protocol. This latter program, called the \fIvmhproc\fR,
-is specified using the `\-vmhproc\ program' switch.
-
-The upshot of all this is that one can run \fImsh\fR on a display terminal
-and get a nice visual interface. To do this, for example, just add
-the line
-
-.ti +.5i
-mshproc: vmh
-
-to your \&.mh\(ruprofile. (This takes advantage of the fact that
-\fImsh\fR is the default \fIvmhproc\fR for \fIvmh\fR.)
-
-In order to facilitate things, if the `\-novmhproc' switch is given,
-and \fIvmh\fR can't run on the user's terminal, the \fIvmhproc\fR is
-run directly without the window management protocol.
-
-After initializing the protocol, \fIvmh\fR prompts the user for a command
-to be given to the client. Usually, this results in output being sent to
-one or more windows. If a output to a window would cause it to scroll,
-\fIvmh\fR prompts the user for instructions, roughly permitting the
-capabilities of \fIless\fR or \fImore\fR (e.g., the ability to scroll
-backwards and forwards):
-
-.nf
-.in +.5i
-.ta \w'RETURN 'u +\w'* 'u
-SPACE advance to the next windowful
-RETURN * advance to the next line
-y * retreat to the previous line
-d * advance to the next ten lines
-u * retreat to the previous ten lines
-g * go to an arbitrary line
- (preceed g with the line number)
-G * go to the end of the window
- (if a line number is given, this acts like `g')
-CTRL\-L refresh the entire screen
-h print a help message
-q abort the window
-.re
-.in -.5i
-.fi
-
-(A `*' indicates that a numeric prefix is meaningful for this command.)
-
-Note that if a command resulted in more than one window's worth of
-information being displayed, and you allow the command which is generating
-information for the window to gracefully finish (i.e., you don't use
-the `q' command to abort information being sent to the window), then
-\fIvmh\fR will give you one last change to peruse the window. This is
-useful for scrolling back and forth. Just type `q' when you're done.
-
-To abnormally terminate \fIvmh\fR (without core dump), use <QUIT>
-(usually CTRL\-\\). For instance, this does the \*(lqright\*(rq thing
-with \fIbbc\fR and \fImsh\fR.

-The argument to the `\-prompt' switch must be interpreted as a single
-token by the shell that invokes \fIvmh\fR. Therefore, one must usually
-place the argument to this switch inside double\-quotes.
-
-At present, there is no way to pass signals (e.g., interrupt, quit) to
-the client. However, generating QUIT when \fIvmh\fR is reading a command
-from the terminal is sufficient to tell the client to go away quickly.

-Acts strangely (loses peer or botches window management protocol with
-peer) on random occasions.
