Question 1 - Apollo Specific

In configuring mh, I understood that the node running the sendmail
daemon is required before starting the compile.  Apollo ships a
version of mh in /usr/new/mh that does not require the node to be
specified.  How is this done? 

I have noted the difference in the compile option switch "[APOLLO]". 
I did a grep on version 6.6 and 6.7 and didn't find the word "apollo"
(anycase) anywhere?

My version of mh:
version: MH 6.6 #3[UCI] (vern) of Mon Sep 17 12:08:55 MST 1990
options: [BSD42] [BSD43] [BERK] [BIND] [TTYD] [DUMB] [NFS] [MHE] [MHRC]
         [NETWORK] [RPATHS] [SBACKUP='"#"']
         [MORE='"/usr/local/bin/dmcat"'] [SENDMTS] [SMTP]

Apollo's version of mh:
version: MH 6.6 #1[UCI] (ics) of Tue May 24 15:51:53 PDT 1988
options: [BERK] [BIND] [BSD42] [BSD43] [DUMB] [MHE] [RPATHS] [TTYD]
         [UCI] [SBACKUP='"#"'] [SENDMTS] [APOLLO]






Question 2 - show

In the .mh_profile for show I have declared a showproc and some arguments
that go with that program.

from /mh_profile:
show: -showproc /user/turner/sources/dmedit/dmcat2 -w1
   (w1 defines a specific window location)

When I invoke show from the command line and explicitly state a different
-showproc, the -w1 is passed to the explicitly stated program.

example:

% show -showproc /bin/cat | lpr
-w1: No such file or directory


Any suggestion on how to get show not to pass the "w1" to /bin/cat?
