Couldn't find them there, was that a typo for /usr/vnc/lib/mc? If it wasn't a
typo then maybe mc can't find something that should be in /usr/vnc/etc/mc...
Haven't found any function key config options so far. mc seems to have set
those permanently in it's code. There is a config file "mc_menu" for the F2
menu's various tricks. Another file, "mc.ext" sets how the F3 view command
works by checking a file's extension.

Thanks! I DL'd the powerful strace from MISC at sunsite, and it's just as you
say. I had cruder MsDos-based programs in mind that didn't do 1/10 as much.
Ran strace on mc, but haven't been able to understand what mc is doing yet.
Alas, strace does so much more than the crude programs I've used, the learning
curve logically ought to be 1000% steeper. Time to shift the bicycle of study
to a lower gear...
