D       Delete tagged files if a copy exists in the other directory.
        if [ "%d" = "%D" ]; then
          echo "The two directores must be different"
          exit 1
        fi
        for i in %t
        do
          if [ -f %D/$i ]; then
            SUM1="`sum $i`"
            SUM2="`sum %D/$i`"
            if [ "$SUM1" = "$SUM2" ]; then
              rm $i && echo ${i}: DELETED
            else
              echo $i and %D/$i differ: NOT deleted.
            fi
          else
            echo %f has no copy in %D/%f: NOT deleted.
          fi
        done
???? BTW I found that any macros which use Fkeys[which is essential for mc]
is no good, because the macro waits for the input
to the F-key. I can't remember, but probably for F7
