Dunno what it means to you, but to me it means moving the cursor (the 
moving differently-coloured bar) onto a file name and hitting Enter.

No. I AM using an utility called zgv. The underlying trouble I referred 
to earlier is that after a long period of using mc on my system (a 
rather trailing-edge Linux), output from certain programs begins to 
disappear when are launched by opening a file with the Enter key. 
Eventually, things wedge shut and I have to exit and restart mc.

Easily. I did compile and install the needed stuff. Except for .etc - 
never seen any.
