One of the things I need for the sequences functions is to have nailed down 
where were getting things like Path, unseen-sequence, and Current-Folder 
from.

It would be good to decide as soon as we can how compatible with MH we want 
to be. I'd like to see all of this stuff in ~/.mh_profile, like it is now. 
That way, when a program starts we can just dump the whole 
/etc/nimh/profile and ~/.mh_profile into a hash and pick the relevant bits 
out as they're needed.
