It's in the mh-sequence(5) page. It doesn't seem inconvenient to me; I
think it's handy. It doesn't do everything I want but it helps a lot.
If you type "show seqname:next" a lot, just make a shell alias to do
it with a shorter name. There's more. For instance, I alias "nx" to:
show cur:1
which shows either the current message (if there is one), else the next
message. That's handy when I'm stepping through a bunch of new mail
messages and can't remember if I've deleted the current message yet.
There are all sorts of handy tricks like that; the online MH book has
a fair number of them.
