You will need to use the command inc each time you wish to incorporate new mail into your MH 'inbox' file. The inc command moves mail from the system maildrop into your MH 'inbox' folder.

scan prints a list of the messages in your current folder.

The commands: show, next, and prev are used to read specific messages from the current folder.

rmm (remove message) deletes the current message. It may be called with message numbers passed as arguments, to delete specific messages.

repl is used to respond to the current message. It places you in the editor with a response form. While you're in the editor, you may peruse the item you're responding to by reading the file named '@'. After completing your response, type 'l' to list it, 's' to send it, 'd' to delete it, or 'q' to quit..

comp allows you to compose a message by putting you in the editor on a message form, and then lets you send it.

All the MH commands may be run with the single argument: `-help', which causes them to print a list of the arguments they may be invoked with.
