Re: Quiet list

Good advice .I love the MC.
What I am surprised about is why use emacs when the PICO editor is easier to
use. Similarly why do all that mount an umount stuff when one can use
mtools. I discovered mcopy it is just like dos.
mcopy a: fooo.asc couldnt be easier
For those that have struggled with unix like I did I found there were a lot
easier ways to do things. The mtools were one of them.
