Name
       prev - show the previous message

Syntax
       prev  [	+folder	 ]  [  -[no]header ] [ -help ] [ -showproc program ] [
       -noshowproc ] [ options to ]

Description
       The command displays the previous message in the current	 folder.   The
       previous	 message  is the one before the current message in the folder.
       The message that is shown becomes the current message.

       You can specify a folder other than the current	folder	by  using  the
       +folder	argument.   If	you specify a folder, that becomes the current
       folder.

Options
       -header
       -noheader 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.

       -help	 Prints a list of the valid options to this command.

       -showproc program [ options ]
       -noshowproc
		 Specifies  an	alternative  program  to  list	messages.  The
		 default is to use the program defined by the showproc:	 entry
		 in  the file.	As with you can give options to the program at
		 the command line.  These are passed directly to by

       The defaults for this command are:

	      +folder defaults to the current folder
	      -header

Restrictions
       The command is really a link to the program.  As a result, if you  make
       a  link to and that link is not called your link will act like instead.
       To avoid this, add a profile-entry for the link to your MH profile  and
       add the argument to the entry.

Examples
       The  command  in the following example displays the previous message in
       the folder
       $ prev +copylog

Profile Components
