If you've got 20 WorkSpaces for working on a various projects, with
 25 mc in total, and one mc is 'holding' a USBstik in it's INACTIVE
panel, and you need to umount & remove the stik. Maybe the new team can
find out where/how to list also the inactive panels' paths?

The active ones are given as:
the openFiles , of mc, 's current-working-dir
Lets see this system which had a power failure today and is still empty?

Of course it should be. What's the licence say.
The first thing to do is publicly honour the original designer: "Norton".
Recently someone gave me a Win7 <installation> and the first thing I did
with the lame thing, was install a copy of my previous century's `nc`.
