Thanks, that fixed it. And related: the mc-officianado suggested that the new mc could do 'this'; well I've just installed Slak13, with a newish mc, and I can't see how to.
I want to know where each of about 20 mc is. Ie. a list of <path where mc's active panel is> , <Desktop,terminal pair>. Coincidentally ~/.mc/filepos now shows: ... /mnt/p11/April2010/FetchScript 3;1 /mnt/p11/Econ/OwnBanks/GquasiPrtnSA2 1;0 /mnt/p11/Debug/Zonnon4smtp/ifL 3;0 ... and if /mnt/p11/April2010/FetchScript 3;1 meant that, THAT <path> currently was accessible by switching to desktop3, VT1; that's exactly what I want. I wonder WHAT the 'pair' corresponding to the <path> in ~/.mc/filepos DOES mean? Obviously each open `mc` is known to the mc-system. But I guess it's known by its pid. And that is obtainable from: lsof | grep mc. And mc doesn't have to worry about the desktop,VT allocation. That's the job of the windowsManager: kde or whatever. So I don't believe that mc-files have the answer of which Desktop, VT any mc is occuppying. So I should'nt tear my guts out trying? Thanks, == Chris Glur. On 5/9/11, Jesús J.
