I confirm it also happens on Linux. Since you wrote it doesn't for you, I suspect your binary was compiled with the internal (the default) or an external S-Lang. The Cygwin binary is linked against ncurses, as is my Linux binary from CVS as of March 17 (using ncurses 20040417). I suggest you report it to mc at gnome dot org if you can't reproduce it on Linux with a binary compiled with ncurses. Take in mind that ldd showing libncurses doesn't mean the binary is using it. It may be a dependency from libgpm. Use mc -V, which here reports "Using the ncurses library". -- http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
