I must agree that it'd be very nice to have a single-pane mode with a wide
name field and the usual size and mtime fields far right. I do quite often
deal with file names longer than 37 chars, being an avid reader of fanfic.

Also, re '.mc/filepos': When the pointer is at BOF (shown as 1;0) on exit,
would it not be smarter to exclude the file just edited from 'filepos'?
Pointer-at-BOF is the default for new entries anyway, na?

I shall wait until later to grumble about the viewer.
