Be sure to add /usr/bin/mh to your path! However, it doesn't wait for the user to acknowledge it, so the user could easily miss it. This should either be documented somewhere else where the person will look when they try to use mh and fail (this sounds tricky), or it should get the user to press `enter' to acknowledge the message. It might also be a good idea to mention to the sysadmin that they should not edit the standard system path to contain /usr/bin/mh - only those users who actually want to use mh should have it in their path.

Sorry, I would have handled this a long time ago except for one small problem -- I can no longer compile MH. Our libraries/linker/compilers have moved up beyond the point where the old Linux MH patchs will work. So until we move to Elf, I am stuck. Ian M., this is such a minor thing that I think I should wait until we do Elf, but if you disagree, what I can do is upload a "new" binary that has a fix in it, but with no accompanying "fixed" source -- since it won't compile anyway.
