So what? So then some other alternatives were suggested to try. None of the many distros I bought on cd mentioned any other than MC.
A bit of history. First I was told how much better MC was than dos. As if dos file managers did not exist? Then when I cited examples of functionality seen in DC, DF, DW but not seen in MC I was told Linux had many other wonderful CLI file managers. Although, if so, I dont understand why the distros dont tell the users to use them. As for 'history', DRDOS has this option in config.sys c:\history on 256 128, or 512, or whatever for the size of the buffer for previous commands. Up arrow is LIFO, down arrow is FIFO. Maybe that is in the Linux CLI too, I dunno. To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
