Not a stupid question, this mc feature ("subshell") is implemented
in a bit of a complex way.
mc only supports it with certain shells: bash, zsh, tcsh, fish, dash
(and ash, but that's not available on openbsd)
Also there is a default terminal mapping on the ^O key which you may
need to override with "stty discard undef"
I'll see if I can get it to work for ksh, but for now if you use one
of the supported shells, it should work.
