i'm suprised that you are using an xterm to run mc in, myself being a dos user, I use the virtual consoles. I use mc everyday, and i'd be at a major loss without it. nc was a mystery to me when i first got it, at least we have searchable documentation these days on the internet. I'm suprised more people don't use mc, it was a major hit when it came out for dos, and the linux one is free. A quick google search will turn up lots of info on it.

nc was popular with DOS users because the DOS shell was pathetic and DOS offered so few utilities. mc is probably a nice interface for DOS users familiar with nc but doesn't offer much to anyone already comfortable with Linux/UNIX shells. Users with a Windows background, not (yet) comfortable with the Linux/UNIX command line, are probably most comfortable with graphical tools like Konqueror's file manager. -- tim writer <tim-s/rLXaiAEBtBDgjK7y7TUQ at public.gmane.org> starnix inc. 905.771.0017 ext. 225 thornhill, ontario, canada http://www.starnix.com professional linux services & products -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
