In 'mc', hitting F3 or 'Enter' doesn't work right for files in /var/log. There was a thread about this on 'mc-devel' in June 2001:
Viewer config (was: TODO list for the next version) http://mail.gnome.org/archives/mc-devel/2001-June/msg00032.html
...their prognosis was pessimistic.
The fix is described (with a patch for '/etc/mc/mc.ext') here:
Debian Bug report logs - #179350 mc hangs viewing a .gz file http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=179350
(It's about the fourth message down.)
Please CC: replies (if any) to [EMAIL PROTECTED], as I don't subscribe to 'mc-devel'.
