Correct.

I'm going to guess bash shell here. If you use a different shell you 
should also know how to look things up for yourself. With bash:
    export TMPDIR=$HOME/tmp
TMPDIR should be a directory which 1. exists; and 2. in which you have 
rwx permissions. Have this set before you start mc. (You might want to 
make a shell alias for mc, or include this is a script to start mc.)
