What about /dev/hda, /dev/hdb. If they are in the power-set then they are on
Linux. But as for me I would prefer to call them "A1", "B1" and so on  :-).

According to my mind MC should not be the shell (rather to be a shell of the
Shell).

Great! This feature I'm looking for 2-3 years.

I have more questions. One of them: What about the message "Commands
interpreter is occupied by another command" when you try to run program
(russian translaters found very funny translation of this message). This
message occurs very often. Standart solution Ctlr-O <Enter> Ctrl-O does not
always work.

Another one. Why does MC forget about sizes of the directories (after the
command "show directory size")?

And last one to this email. Why does neither Ctrl-Ins (Shift-Ins) nor
Ctrl-C(Ctrl-V) work properly in the editor?
