Ahhh... I should written a bit more than 'more or less' I've got mc on a bootable CD (LNX-BBC). Personally I find this two panel file-manger with integral text editor really useful and easy to get on with. I am only to happy to admit that I have been completely stumped by 'pretty lame' tight corners. But I imagine that is a normal part the Linux learning curve experience of which I was trying to pass on.
