Actually, I confess ... I solve the second problem.  It turned out to
be (stupid) user error ... I had defined the mh-progs and mh-lib paths
incorrectly.  So MH is partially working on my home system how.  I can
fetch and read mail.  However, I can't reply, partly because I think
some path to the drafts folder is wrong.

The bigger problem is still the first one ... why does inc work on my
home (WinNT) system, but not on my office (Win2000) one?  Surely there
are no differences in the file systems of these OSes.

Thanks,
