messages from VLC appear in the MC terminal window and force the MC display up the screen, thus rendering it unreadable. I can fix this by exiting VLC and entering "clear" on the command line. Question is, can I hide all terminal messages when MC is running? Does my question & description make sense? Thanks much - Skippy
