        !            16: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            17: \fIPrev\fR performs a \fIshow\fR on the previous message in the specified
        !            18: (or current) folder.
        !            19: Like \fIshow\fR, it passes any switches on to the
        !            20: program named by \fIshowproc\fR, which is called to list the message.
        !            21: This command
        !            22: is almost exactly equivalent to \*(lqshow prev\*(rq.
        !            23: Consult the manual entry for \fIshow\fR\0(1) for all the details.

        !            41: If a folder is specified, it will become the current folder.
        !            42: The message that is shown (i.e., the previous message in sequence)
        !            43: will become the current message.
        !            44: .Bu
        !            45: \fIprev\fR is really a link to the \fIshow\fR program.
        !            46: As a result,
        !            47: if you make a link to \fIprev\fR and that link is not called \fIprev\fR,
        !            48: your link will act like \fIshow\fR instead.
        !            49: To circumvent this,
        !            50: add a profile\-entry for the link to your \fIMH\fR profile and add the
        !            51: argument \fIprev\fR to the entry.
        !            52: .En
