Customizing the MC editor

[Keith Roberts]

This has beem implemeted for mc on Fedora 10. Not sure which 
version of mc, as I'm on another machine ATM :)

Trailing white space is shown as blue period character.

Also tabs are displayed something like <--> in a blue color.

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts
