How about the following:
last=`mhpath first:$((2*n)) cur:$n|tail -1`
last=${last##*/}
scan $last:-$((2*n))

Wow. Super clever. Doesn't work if cur

Clever. That solves the problem I was having with pick doing this in
Bourne shell.
I believe this will work, and doesn't have the problem with gaps in
message numbers that kre's script does.
pre=$((`mhpath cur:-$n|wc -l`))

Hmm. That's more complicated than it needs to be.

A friend was trying to sort out a suitable shell alias/function for
doing a scan of the N messages 'around' the current one, by which I
mean something like "cur:-X cur:X" where X is N/2, except that if there

cur, and vice-versa,
