A better question is "why aren't you just hitting 'n' to go to the next match?" :) Saves you a keystroke. In fact, ALT-F7 isn't even listed as an option in the mc online help. Only 'n' is mentioned. > About the argument of midc authors regarding C-o.

"screen" does this sort of thing > all the time, so it's very much possible. And as a side effect, this approach would work on any login, not just the console. For example, most of my VTYs are really ssh logins to other machines on my network. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
