  On System V system, add this to your crontab. If you don't have one,
  put this in a file, and run "crontab file". If your system does not
  support personal crontab files, get your system administrator to add
  an equivalent line to the system crontab file or daily clean-up
  script. Note that some administrators set the prefix character to
  '#'.

    # Remove old MH files
