Re: MC internal editor (was Re: colors)

[William Kimber <williamk orcon net nz>]

I have have been considering changing  the default colours, the man file has 
info about a mc.ini file but having checked several distributions of linux, 
none have a mc.ini. Is there a default version?  Where is it in the 
distribution?

Thanks,
 William Kimber.
