5.    There's code that removes a trailing / from mypath if mypath is more

      the case, this code wouldn't catch multiple trailing slashes anyway.

  I'm not familiar enough with the MH code to know about the other
  issues, but with this one, if the path is shown to the user in any
  way, at worst this is a nice cosmetic fix. At best, it saves the user
  from opening the wrong file if he cut and pastes the path into Emacs,
  for example.

  Thanks for taking the time to  clean things up.
