There are two ways: 1. Set num_history_items_recorded=0 in the ini file if you want to keep your current settings. 2. Define MC_PROFILE_ROOT environment variable for temporary mc environment (see man mc for details). If this variable is set, mc creates a new profile with default settings at start. After mc close, you can just delete this directory. -- Andrew -- mc mailing list [email protected] https://lists.midnight-commander.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
