Explanation of fpick

Part of the section about searching more than one folder gives an overview of fpick. Here is the fpick script (you might want to open it in a separate browser window). To install it, first see the Section Programs in This Book's Archive and create the file fpick.

The fpick script runs the MH pick command on a tree of folders. It's straightforward Bourne shell code with no real surprises.
