                     13: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     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.
