Thanks, but I've never wanted such a thing. In fact, my most memorable
experiences with Midnight Commander are the times I accidentally typed 'mc'
rather than 'mv' while trying to move a file and ending up having to exit
Midnight Commander instead - a bit of a nuisance, really, enough that I
enjoy systems without it installed just a tad more.  ; )
