PS: Forgot to mention:
   * Nedit is on the download CDs -- at least it was for 7.2, and I
expect it is on since then -- I (accidentally) did not install it by
default on my 8.1 installation, and have not looked for it yet.
   * I'm almost certain mc is midnight commander, because mc is the
default name of the midnight commander executable.
