Linux documentation: I switched to Linux in the summer of 2002 to regain control of how I compute; as a former DOS user I used to use Norton Commander as my window into my computer: it displayed the contents of two directories side by side, and the bottom box had a command-line prompt - commands typed there automatically looked for files in the selected left or right directory. With Norton I was in command: I could easily display any directory, and once selected easily (one-keystroke commands) select files and then copy, move, edit, and process them and see what you were doing the whole time - so I was induced to switch to Linux because it had "midnight commander" supposedly modeled after Norton Commander. Midnight commander (and linux generally) has been a big disappointment: I have yet to find any documentation (man pages or anything else),
