Perfect!!!

$ show star:next

is exactly what I wanted.  Thanks.

The biggest problem I have with mhshow (and this is probably the subject
of a second thread) is swapping the mhshow-show-text/html option
between "lynx" and "graphical browser" depending on where and how I am
reading email (possibly depending on the email itself).  I'm just an
old-timer text-only kinda guy, and I'd rather read equal-sign-ecrusted
plain-text sections of email than go through the overhead of opening an
X window.

Change is bad.  Everybody knows that. :)
