                     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.

                     35: `+folder' defaults to the current folder

                     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.
