 of changes are worthwhile.  Can we agree on some way to work this?

Oh, just for discussion, here's another change that I'd like to make.  I need
to make some changes in the way the context/profile stuff is handled.  Without
going into a lot of detail here, I'm adding a -nochangecontext option to many
of the programs so that you can, for example, show +newfolder without changing
the current folder. 

I accomplish a similar functionality with an sh function for use in scripts:

newmh () 
{ 
    local oldContext="${MHCONTEXT-context}";
    local path=`mhpath +`;
    export MHCONTEXT=,"$oldContext.$$";
    cp "$path/$oldContext" "$path/$MHCONTEXT"
}
