I have never had much luck making vmh work under System III or System V; for
the most part, this hasn't bothered me because I prefer the shell command
interface to MH.  However, I now have a co-worker who would like to learn MH
without losing access to his mail from other mailers if he manages to get
confused or etc. while I'm not around, so msh and/or vmh on his maildrop look
like the best action.  (Msh seems to work fine for this.)

Anyway, has anyone ever figured out why vmh doesn't handle its line buffers
correctly on USG systems?  Under System III I used a hack which got the line
buffers allocated, but reverse scrolling screwed things up royally.  I'd
prefer a working solution this time.  Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
++Brandon
