I tend to be that way a little too, but I'm testing things on ubuntu 9.10 right now and when the mc there 
wouldn't recognize ~/.mc, I just built using the latest source.  Works fine, and I gotta add that the new 
"skins" feature is a great idea -- you can now set a different appearance for each instance using a command 
line switch.   Plus there's a few included so you don't have to spend any time making up various color 
schemes.

Ctrl-x then p (this panel), ctrl-x then ctrl-p (other panel).  Ie, for this panel release ctrl before you 
press p.

Those two are under F1 (help) ->Contents->Keys: Shell Command line.  Alt-p and Alt-n (for command history) 
are there too if you don't know about those!!

Somebody also sent me this and forgot to CC the list:

Same thing only easier!  I don't see them anywhere in Help tho.
