Re: mc tip

[Bryce Martin <bryce martin gmx com>]

Hi Zoli,

Thanks for the tip. I just made it and it works nicely. Please keep the
tips coming.

I'm teaching my wife to use mc and Gnome. I'm going to install it on
her computer when I get around to backing up and sorting out all the
files. She actually sees how to use it and is impressed.

What desktop do you use?

Cheers,
Bryce.
