I just tried:  mc -C yellow,green  today and it worked on a normal console
and in an xterm. Don't know why it didn't before.

I've read the manuals in the /usr/doc/mc directory on debian (FAQ.gz) and
looked on the net, but there's nothing about setting the background colour.

mc --help-colors  gives a list of options, but nothing affects the
background colour of the left and right viewing panes. How can i
do this?
