OK. I will so do. But what does "don't move your arm like that" correspond to?
Does it mean that while using nmh 1.7 I should never have any directories
whose name begin with a comma? Or maybe it just means don't do a "make check"
from a directory whose name begins with a comma? That is, what should I not
do?
