Midnight Commander - show/hide panel

Hi All, I have been trying out Midnight Commander on Cygwin and noticed that (like vim) it has a shortcut (control+0) for going back to the command prompt. However, on Cygwin, typing anything immediately brings back Midnight Commander. I tried this on a Linux machine and it works ok, meaning I ca

RE: exiting vim changes background colour of console

y, I find that I can keep pressing ENTER and 'clear' the screen back to how it was, but this is an ugly solution. Kind regards, Rob :) --- Robert Mark Bram Portal Analyst Programmer eTechnology, Coles Myer Limited [EMAIL PROTECTED] +61 3 9635 1036 -Original Message- From: Igo

exiting vim changes background colour of console

Hi All! I am finding that when I exit from vim, it turns my background back into black (which is how I had it before I tried changing it today). Is there a setting or something I have forgotten to change? Kind regards, Rob :) --- Robert Mark Bram Portal Analyst Programmer eTechnology, Co
