Hello!

This patch fixes a long-standing bug when a black line appears near the
bottom of the editor after running shell from the F11 menu. Older
versions of MC also demonstrate this bug when Ctrl-L is pressed in mcedit.

Disabling subshell in mcedit (i.e. when mc is run as "mc -e" or "mcedit")
was a workaround. This is actually a fix!

ChangeLog:

	* main.c (load_prompt): Don't change prompt if midnight_dlg is
	not the current dialog.
