In each home directory there is an '.mc' directory where mc place = per user configuration files, so I found that copying the above files in $H= OME/.mc/cedit directory you can customize the syntax highlight recognition = and coloration, so what I've done (for each user) is to create symlinks to = that files in 'cedit' directory, pointing at files copied in step 1.

This is not a FreeBSD issue instead something changed in mc syntax= highlight policy, anyhow, perhaps you know or heard about some changes, I = use mcedit for small shell files, small perl and python scripts on FreeBSD = server but the most of the time I works on Windows desktops (and access it = with remote terminals), so I can revert mc to works as default and edit the= m in Windows. The latest mc from ports changed the paths to be more XDG complaint. Config files live now in ~/.config/mc/ (and, as consequence, ~/.config/mc/mcedit/ if you need mcedit-related ones). State-related files live in ~/.local/mc/ now. At the 1st run after update, the mc copies the "old" configs into "new" locations, which explains why your changes to the files inside ~/.mc/ had no effect and why you had a feeling like something cached somewhere. Also, at the 1st run (just after copying), mc shows message about new paths and what happened, and exits. But you can easy to miss it if your terminal emulator closes the window automatically after mc exit. > > FYI: I made many other customizations to mc but I don't know if they inte= rfere with this issue, all of them have more than 2 years and always worked= and they are the same from at least 1 year, anyway my system was installed= from 'disk 1' in september 2010, fresh FreeBSD 9.0-BETA1 installation (it = was an 8.2-RELEASE but I made a fresh install to test bsdinstall and have S= U+J on UFS), upgraded to 9.0-RELEASE in january or frebuary with freebsd-up= date (binary), all ports are uptodate. > =A0FreeBSD alpha.xxxxxxx.xxx 9.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE #1: Fri Jan = 20 07:29:38 CET 2012 > =A0root@alpha.xxxxxxx.xxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ALPHA =A0i386 > Thanks in advance for your advices (if you have any) > paul --=20 Andrew W.
