Could it be more that .mh_profile has to be read to have a clue what to
do in some cases. All entries are stored even if only some are needed.
Then, by the time the optional environment variable file is read,
.mh_profile has already been seen in its entirety.
I agree envvar, .mh_profile, then system seems more logical. Not that
it need be implemented by reading the files in that order. .mh_profile
could still be read first, but then envvar allowed to replace existing
components for the first time they occur in envvar. Not 1.6, as you
say.
Cheers, Ralph.
