Midnight Commander

[Doug Lawlor]

To start Midnight commander Just type mc at the shell prompt. Make sure you
have it installed on your system first though. It's been a few years since I
used slackware so someone more knoledgable can help you with that or better
yet have a look in the slackware documentation on installing packages.
