however, i must say that i find the idea to expose the shell through a "side channel" intriguing. but this is not going to be an easy exercise to start with, and the fact that the synchronization between mc and the (local) shell is now even more broken than in mc <= 4.5 doesn't exactly make the challenge smaller. _______________________________________________ mc-devel mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
