Hi Pavel,

I am most embarased, but I don't know how to make a screenprint. From an
xterm........ I use Gnome and RH 9.0.

The MC I use is (redirection to a file I understand ;-):

GNU Midnight Commander 4.6.0
Virtual File System: tarfs, extfs, cpiofs, ftpfs, fish, undelfs
With builtin Editor
Using system-installed S-Lang library with terminfo database
With subshell support as default
With support for background operations
With mouse support on xterm and Linux console
With support for X11 events
With internationalization support

As soon as I have found how to make a screen print I will send one.

The problem is, that after closing mc the commandline is obscured by
whatever is already on the screen. 

Guus.
