        !            14: When a user runs any \fIMH\fR program for the first time,
        !            15: the program will invoke \fIinstall\-mh\fR (with the `\-auto' switch)
        !            16: to query the user for the initial \fIMH\fR environment.
        !            17: The user does \fBNOT\fR invoke this program directly.
        !            18: The user is asked for the name of the directory that will be designated
        !            19: as the user's \fIMH\fR directory.
        !            20: If this directory does not exist, the user is asked if it should be
        !            21: created.
        !            22: Normally, this directory should be under the user's home directory, 
        !            23: and has the default name of Mail/.
        !            24: After \fIinstall\-mh\fR has written the initial \&.mh\(ruprofile for
        !            25: the user,
        !            26: control returns to the original \fIMH\fR program.
        !            27: 
        !            28: As with all \fIMH\fR commands,
        !            29: \fIinstall\-mh\fR first consults the \fB$HOME\fR envariable to
        !            30: determine the user's home directory.
        !            31: If \fB$HOME\fR is not set,
        !            32: then the \fI/etc/passwd\fR file is consulted.
        !            33: 
        !            34: When converting from \fImh.3\fR to \fImh.4\fR,
        !            35: \fIinstall\-mh\fR is automatically invoked with the `\-compat' switch.
