Commands Reference, Volume 6
Starts a visual interface for use
with MH commands.
vmh [ -prompt
String ] [ -vmhproc
CommandString | -novmhproc ]
The vmh command starts
a visual interface for use with MH commands. The vmh command
implements the server side of the MH window management protocol and maintains
a split-screen interface to any program that implements the client side of the
protocol.
The vmh command prompts
for commands and sends them to the client side of the protocol. If the
command produces a window with more than one screen of output, the
vmh command prompts the user for a subcommand. The
vmh subcommands enable you to display specific portions of the
command output.
