	I am looking for a way (possibly an option to the folder command)
to create all subfolders in a folder path that I might specify to a
reasonable mh command. For example,

	Suppose the folder +cm/users exists and I issue the command,

		folder +cm/users/sam/paris/lightspeed

	the folder command will fail with the messages,

	Create folder "/truffula/curtiss/Mail/cm/users/sam/paris/lightspeed"? y
	folder: unable to create directory /truffula/curtiss/Mail/cm/users \
		/sam/paris/lightspeed: No such file or directory
	folder: unable to create folder /truffula/curtiss/Mail/cm/users/sam \
		/paris/lightspeed

	I would like for there to be some option to the folder command or
some item I could place in my .mh_profile that would allow the creation of
all subfolders in a folder path. Currently I use mkdirhier to accomplish
this in some scripts which is a pain.

	My mh system is:

version: MH 6.6 #6[UCI] (gyre.umd.edu) of Wed Mar 22 14:44:50 EST 1989
options: [BSD42] [BSD43] [BERK] [DUMB] [MHE] [NETWORK] [BIND] [RPATH]
         [SBACKUP='"#"'] [SENDMTS] [SMTP]

Thanks for any help.
