MC 4.0

Hej,

I managed to run the Midnight Commander on my 4 meg Falcon after I
installed terminfo (thanks, Katherine!). But there are still some problems
left:

1) mc (as well as lynx) does not work on vconsoles. To make it work I had
   to change the default terminal for vconsoles, from stv52 to st52.

2) mc bombs if you try to perform "Save options". No matter, if YOU select
   this option or the mc tries to save options automatically. The result
   is the same: Bus error.

But generally it works and looks nice. Additionally, I didn't notice that
it would be *deadly* slow on my standard Falcon. It isn't lightspeed,
right, but the speed is acceptable.

By the way, trying to set up the mc, I think I found a bug in the tcsh.
The shell, trying to set TERM variable, seems to *replace* the previously
set TERMINFO variable so that you finish with TERM set twice and no
TERMINFO at all... Has anyone solved this?

Any help appreciated (except for: `change the shell to bash')

Bye
