Oh, you mean I'll have it by Thanksgiving instead:)  All kidding asside,
sounds like some highlight tracking may be on the way??? That would be
most excellent for curses based applications like many browsers and the
midnight commander.

To answer another question, the Midnight Commander is a full screen file
manager.  It resembles the old Norton Commander used on many DOS and
some Windows systems.  Slackware has it available as a pre-compiled
package.  It's actually pretty cool.
