If there is no such file, make /usr/bin/more a symbolic link to /bin/more until the bug gets fixed. -- Siggy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to Siggy Brentrup : Extra info received and forwarded.

You end up with errors like: bdale@chunks:~: show (Message inbox:386) show: unable to exec /usr/bin/more: No such file or directory bdale@chunks:~: The fix is probably to change the file conf/MH in the source tree, whacking the line options SYS5 MORE='"/usr/bin/more"' RENAME SYS5DIR UNISTD SVR4 MIME to point to the right location for more. It is possible to work around this defect by specifying an explicit path for more in the user's .mh_profile: moreproc: /bin/more But this shouldn't be necessary.
