If you use xmh read on, maybe you can help.

I have been experimenting with xmh, however I'm having problems. 
Using mh commands on the command line seems to work fine (inc, scan, 
compose) but xmh flips out on me.

First, what ALL does one do to use xmh (setup files, environment vars etc)?

Second, any help with these problems would be appreciated. I have tried two
versions of xmh they are listed along with the corresponding problems.

2.0.5

	Problems
	- inc does not always work
	- the inbox/.xmhcache get wiped out (set to a zero length)
	  This often happens when 'rescan' is seclected.

R4

	Problems
	- same as above but I get a little "notice" window that says:

		xmh command returned:

		xmh: Execvp failed!
		errno = 2; No such file or directory^G
		exiting.

		/--------------\
		| Acknowledged |
		\______________/


	- selecting reply aborts xmh
	- selecting compose causes the above mentioned notice box but still
	opens a draft window.


Thanks for the help.
