This facility must be usefull to others too ?
help: Command [of my version of today] tells that
'option to pipe text block thru shell commands like ispell
and indent'.

I'm going to try to just use/modify those existing scripts,
like /usr/share/mc/edit.indent.rc

BTW. related to this it's dissapointing that macros which
use <F4> to replace; stop and ask for the 'search text',
when the macro is called.  The whole idea of using a macro
is to avoid having to enter this text on every search/replace
cycyle ?
