- \fIPrev\fR performs a \fIshow\fR on the previous message in the specified
- (or current) folder.
- Like \fIshow\fR, it passes any switches on to the
- program named by \fIshowproc\fR, which is called to list the message.
- This command
- is almost exactly equivalent to \*(lqshow prev\*(rq.
- Consult the manual entry for \fIshow\fR\0(1) for all the details.

- If a folder is specified, it will become the current folder.
- The message that is shown (i.e., the previous message in sequence)
- will become the current message.
- .Bu
- \fIprev\fR is really a link to the \fIshow\fR program.
- As a result,
- if you make a link to \fIprev\fR and that link is not called \fIprev\fR,
- your link will act like \fIshow\fR instead.
- To circumvent this,
- add a profile\-entry for the link to your \fIMH\fR profile and add the
- argument \fIprev\fR to the entry.
