## mc (Midnight Commander) Usage



The Midnight Commander is a directory browsing and file manipulation program that provides a flexible, powerful, and convenient set of file and directory operations.

### How to use it with your free shell account?

Unfortunately under OpenBSD mc is still affected by this [Midnight Commander bug](/https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/3658):

    $ mc
    ... unimplemented subshell type 1 ...


In order to mitigate this bug and make possible to use 'mc' in your shell account, customize your ~/.profile by issuing the command:

    $ cat >> ~/.profile
    alias mc='mc -u'


Please note the double >> , otherwise you will purge your ~/.profile and this will create troubles with subsequent logins to your shell account!
