* mh-index.el (mh-index-search): Checking mh-find-path-run is unnecessary. * mh-init.el (mh-sys-path): Co-locate with mh-variants, which uses it. (mh-variants): Note variable isn't meant to be accessed directly; use function mh-variants instead. (mh-variant-info, mh-variant-mh-info, mh-variant-mu-mh-info) (mh-variant-nmh-info): Co-locate next to mh-variants, which uses them. Updated to use mh-file-command-p which is more accurrate than file-executable-p which returns t for directories. (mh-file-command-p): Move here from mh-utils, since mh-variant-*-info are the only functions to use it. (mh-variant-set, mh-variant-set-variant, mh-variant-p): Use function mh-variants instead of variable. More robust. (mh-find-path-run): Move here from mh-utils.el. Mention that checking this variable is unnecessary. (mh-find-path): Move here from mh-utils.el. With the advent of MH variants and an mhparam command that doesn't work if there isn't an MH profile, we can't get libdir for running install-mh. So don't bother. If there's an issue with the environment, direct the user to install MH and run install-mh (closes SF #835192). Don't read ~/.mh_profile directly. Use mh-profile-component which uses mhparam (closes SF #1016027). * mh-utils.el (mh-get-profile-field): Rename to mh-profile-component-value. Add colon to search removing unnecessary addition of colon to field in mh-profile-component. (mh-profile-component): Modify call to mh-profile-component-value accordingly. Move next to mh-profile-component-value. (mh-find-path-run, mh-find-path, mh-file-command-p): Move to mh-init.el. It makes sense that code that is only run once per session (more or less) is in mh-init.el rather than cluttering mh-utils.el. (mh-no-install, mh-install): Delete.

We have bound this manual using a new @dfn{lay-flat} binding
technology.  This type of binding allows you to open a soft cover book
so that it ``lays flat'' on a table without creasing the binding.

In order to make the book lay flat properly, you need to ``crack'' the
binding.  To do this, divide the book into two sections and bend it so
that the front and back covers meet.  Do not worry; the pages are
sewn and glued to the binding, and will not fall out easily.
The outer cardboard binding itself is designed so that it will not
break or crease as an ordinary paperback binding will.  Bend the book
several times in this manner, dividing it in a different place each
time and pressing the pages flat and open.  With use, the binding will
become flexible and the pages will lay flat without needing to be
pushed or held down.
