Ohh, that i missed, big ooops! I just reacted to what i saw as an attempt to take credit for someone elses idea wich is a thing i hate no matter where it come from. Now i see that that clearly was not the case so ill just shut up now. MC rocks no matter what. It should be a base tool in all the dists because anyone can use its editor. Boy is it hard to learn vi on the fly. =) _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
