Do I need to register for opening a ticket?  If yes would you volunteer
to proxy my report upstream?  I do not want to steal your time but I'm
bored by having accounts on several places loosing passwords etc...

Well, I have no real problem with your decision because it makes sense
to use system default editor and I need to fire up configuration anyway
to enable "Lynx like motion" which is my personal preference (which is
IMHO different from upstream default) but if I would be MC maintainer I
would probably leave mcedit as default.  But there is no real need to
discuss this - just wanted you to have some user response.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
