OK.  I have MHN set to /home/kevinc/.mh_profile.mhn in my
environment.  I renamed that file and MHN now points at something
non-existent.  I suppose it would be better to unset MHN.  I've
attached the file to feed your curiosity.  Trying to open an
Opera browser for text/html wasn't so great, for instance.

I adjusted my .mh_profile (not the MHN one) a bit, as follows.

I hope that's useful.

What do you have in mind, a sanity check flag for mhparam?  Maybe
a flag for mhparam that would look in the search PATH and report
preferred, whatever that means, applications for each kind of
task?

Cheerio....
