copy to cooledit.clip in forked shell

[age kruithof <kruithofage gmail com>]

Hi,

I note that when I invoke mc in a forked shell, like script, then in mcedit the ctrl-ins keys to copy marked text to cooledit.clip don't work, they do nothing.

Why is that? Is there a way to make it work? I could not find the answer in the man page and googling did not help.

Also in a forked shell the mouse does not work with mc, is that the same reason?

Thanks.
