tips on using m c

[Tony Baechler]

Yes, but when you're dealing with very long filenames and directories, 
it's much nicer to be able to use the arrows.  Even with filename 
completion, it can be very difficult when the names of the directories 
and files wrap over a line or two.  The other problem with tab 
completion is that often the files I work with have similar prefixes, 
making all that much more to enter before it can complete.  With a 
curses-based file manager, I can use the arrows and press a key to 
rename a file while still using multiple consoles and the shell for my 
other tasks.
