Suppose I want to do something like:

sed < $mts >| /tmp/mts.conf -e '/^servers:/s/:.*/: localhost/'
MHMTSCONF=/tmp/mts.conf mhmail norm -from norm -subject "$1"
But replacing /usr/local/nmh/etc/mts.conf with the location of mts.conf.
Is there some way a script can know the location of nmh's etc directory?
`mhparam etcdir`
OK. I will use it. Thank you.
But without you to hold my hands, how could I have known that?
It's not in the mhparam man page, In fact, share/doc/nmh/README.manpages and
bin/mhparam are the only files anywhere in the nmh-1.5 hierarchy in which
the string "etcdir" occurs. Also 'mhparam -all | grep etc' shows nothing.
i'll bet a patch to the man page would be welcomed! :-)
(i didn't know about it either, and needed the "libdir" variant just the
other day, to find the "ap" command.)
