EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned: Success.  Failure.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables affect the execution of mtype: If set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the  cur-
       rent mtools working directory as established by the mcd command.  If this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used.

FILES

       Contains  the  name  of	the  current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command.  If this file does not exist, the default
