Hi!
I would like that MC remember last directory it was
in.
So I have add:
if [ -f /usr/lib/mc/bin/mc.sh ]; then
. /usr/lib/mc/bin/mc.sh
fi
to my .bashrc where mc.sh is:
mc ()
{
mkdir -p $HOME/.mc/tmp 2 /dev/null
chmod 700 $HOME/.mc/tmp
MC=$HOME/.mc/tmp/mc-$$
/usr/bin/mc -P $@ $MC

Thank's for your reply. I fixet the whole thing by comparing with the
file in my SuSE system and editing the XF86Config-4 file by hand.
