I installed misc/mc-light and run it as
$ TERM=vt102 export TERM
$ unset TERMCAP
$ mcedit ESER.txt
I was suprised that it offers in the last line of the screen this:
1Help 2Save 3Mark 4Replac 5Copy 6Move 7Search 8Delete 9PullDn 10Quit
(the numbers are black on white, the words are presented inverse)
surprised, because the VT102 has no function keys F1...F10. But I
figured out that ESC-1 ... ESC-0 do the same job.
It's a bit a pitty, that it can not switched to German. There is only
an English and a Russian po-file (around 900 lines to translate):
$ fgrep msgid mc.pot | wc -l
903
For mc@nuclecu.unam.mx: Are you aware of any German translation of the
po-file? Thanks
