M-o and mc shell options.

[Steef Boerrigter <sxmboer pharmacy purdue edu>]

It has been a while since the M-o issue was changed, but it still 
bothers me.
I have seen quite a couple of people complain about losing the old 
functionality and I am one of them.
I really see no benefit at all to have the current workdirectory copied 
as it does in the 4.6.0+ versions of mc.
Also, removing functionality like this just irritates users like me 
causing them to branch off.
I am still not using the newer versions of mc because of this and some 
other changed behavior.

Anyway, I had a question. In mc, the standard shell settings are used, 
(in my case tcsh) which is not always beneficial.
In my case, I'd like to use a different $prompt in the mc command line 
as what I use in mc.
Is there an easy way to do this?

Hi,

I very much prefer the "old" behavior  (4.5.51) of the M-o key, i.e. opening 
the directory on which you are standing in the other panel, over the new one.
The old behavior was very usefull for getting a quick glimpse of an unknown 
directory tree. 

In recent releases (4.6.0) this functionality appears to be gone. I would 
apreciate it,  if it could somehow be reimplemented (using another shortcut 
is of course fine) .

Cheers,

Andreas
