thanks vidyadhar85...
that works for one file. So I would have to do that for every file in the dirctory. I was hoping there was a way to do that for all the files in the directory with a single command from the prompt.

Name
msh - MH shell
Syntax
msh [ -help ] [ -prompt string ] [ file ]
Description
The command is an interactive program that implements a subset of the normal MH commands operating on a single file in format. That is, is
used to read a file that contains a number of messages, as opposed to the standard MH style of reading a number of files, each file being a
separate message in a folder.
The chief advantage of is that, unlike the normal MH style, it allows a file to have more than one message in it. In addition, can be used
on other files, such as message archives which have been packed using
When invoked, reads the named file, and enters a command loop. You can type most of the normal MH commands. The syntax and semantics of
these commands typed to are identical to their MH counterparts. In cases where the nature of would be inconsistent with the way MH works
(for example, specifying a +folder with some commands), will duly inform you. The commands that currently supports are:
ali burst comp dist folder
forw inc mark mhmail msgchk
next packf pick prev refile
repl rmm scan send show
sortm whatnow whom
In addition, has a command which gives a brief overview of all the options. To terminate either type <CTRL/D>, or use the command. If the
file is writable and has been modified, then using will ask you if the file should be updated.
A redirection facility is supported by Commands may be followed by one of the following standard ULTRIX symbols:
| Open an interprocess channel; connect output to another ULTRIX command.
> Write output to file.
>> Append output to file.
If file starts with a tilde (~), then a C-shell-like expansion takes place. Note that commands are interpreted by
When parsing commands to the left of any redirection symbol, will honor the backslash () as the quote next-character symbol, and double
quotes (") as quote-word delimiters. All other input tokens are separated by white space (spaces and tabs).
You may wish to use an alternative profile for the commands that executes; see for details of the $MH environment variable.
Options
-help Prints a list of the valid options for this command.
-prompt string
Sets the prompt for If the string you specify includes white space, you must enclose it in double quotes ("). If you do not
specify this option, the default prompt is (msh).
The following defaults are used by
file defaults to
-prompt (msh)
Restrictions
The shell is not the C-shell, and a lot of the facilities provided by the latter are not present in the former. In particular, does not
support back-quoting, history substitutions, variable substitutions, or alias substitutions.
does not understand back-quoting. The only effective way to use inside is to always use the -seq select option. If you add the following
line to your will work equally well from both the shell and
pick: -seq select -list
There is a strict limit of messages per file in format which can handle. Usually, this limit is 1000 messages.
