next(1) General Commands Manual next(1)
NAME
next - show the next message (only available within the message handling system, mh)
SYNOPSIS
next [+foldername] [-[no]header] [-help] [-showproc program] [-noshowproc] [options to showproc]
OPTIONS
Displays a one-line header before the message. The header consists of the name of the folder and the message number. This is the default
behavior. It can be suppressed with the -noheader option. Prints a list of the valid options to this command. Specifies an alternative
program to list messages. The default is to use the program defined by the showproc: entry in the file. As with show, you can give options
to the showproc program at the command line. These are passed directly to showproc by next. (If you specify an option that has a numerical
value, leave no space between the argument and the value. See RESTRICTIONS for more information.)
The defaults for this command are:
+folder defaults to the current folder -header
DESCRIPTION
The command next displays the next message in the current folder. The next message is the one after the current message in the folder. The
message that is shown becomes the current message.
If you name a folder using the +folder argument, next displays the next message in the folder you specify. That folder becomes the current
folder.
RESTRICTIONS
The next command is really a link to the show program. As a result, if you make a link to next and that link is not called next, your link
will act like show instead. To avoid this, add a profile-entry for the link to your and add the argument next to the entry.
Also, if you use the showproc switch to specify an alternative viewer, leave no space between the options specified with the viewer and
their values. For example, if you want to use the more command to scroll through messages in your inbox folder, and you want to pause every
five lines, you would enter the following command, where there is no space between the option n and the value 5: % next +inbox -showproc
more -n5
If there is space between the option n and the value 5, the command interprets 5 as a message number to view.
PROFILE COMPONENTS
Path: To determine the user's Mail directory
showproc: Program to show the message
FILES
The user profile.
