It turns out that if the lproc is set to "show", then whatnow will actually
invoke it as "show -file". This code is in sbr/showfile.c, line 48.
Show has some similar logic at uip/show.c, starting at line 303. However,
it will only pass on the "-file" switch if the program to be invoked is
mhn, which was appropriate for older nmh releases. Here's a quick and dirty
patch which propagates -file also in the case of mhshow.
