I have installed the binaries, and can 'inc', etc., but when I try
to 'send' after 'comp'-ing, it hangs:  When I try 'send -verbose
-watch' I get the

-- Posting for All Recipients --

message and then nothing else.  If I leave it, it will eventually say
'Message not delivered to anyone'.  I have tried looking at man pages
for post(8) and send(1) but can't find anything there that would give
me a hint as to how to set up stuff properly.

Is this something where there might be conflicts with 'mail' since
it's still left on the system?  Or is it that I have to set some
environmental variable, or that some directories need to be set up,
or WHAT?? (BTW, I noticed that I need a /usr/spool/mail set of
directories).  Since there is no documentation with the port on agate,
where can I find it?  Do I have to actually buy an MH User's Manual
mentioned in the man pages?

Thanks for answering to anyone who's got any clues.
