Hey, I like mc too.  It's just a "blast from the past" reminder of the Norton
Commander DOS days before Linux.

I typically just use the shell because I'm not familiar enough with the mc
commands anymore.

Does anybody remember a DOS windowing system from Quarterdeck called DESQview?
I remember when that was the hottest thing for about a year until the
Microsoft's new "Windows" product took over the market :-)
