    I apologize if the following issue has already been discussed. I am new to this
news group.

    I have been looking at the xmh program on a sun3/60 running 3.5 and X11 and find
it to be broken in several ways: 


(1) The command buttons highlight in a somewhat grotesque manner.

(2) Incorporte New Mail prepares new messages for reading properly, but doesn't
display the headers (it doesn't display anything until you select View Next Message).

(3) The front end to /usr/local/mh6 programs seems to have changed 
so that exec'd commands die from incorrect usage.


    The other germane detail is that the program worked until some toolkit pathces 
were applied around the middle of July. 


    I have seen an article from Perdue about compiling the server with gcc that
perhaps explains (1), and (3) I can fix myself. My question is if anyone has dealt
with (2).  I would be quite happy if someone has a working version of the xmh
program (or the appropiately pathed library utilities ?? )  that I can ftp.     


thanks
