If the screen is black after the prompt (and stays that way until cleared), then that's a problem with mc not reinitializing the colors to the default. It could still be a mismatch of the terminal description (not using the "bce" back-color erase capability), but can also be a bug in the code. The latter is less likely. -- Thomas E.
