Hi all,
 
at the beginning I apologize for cross-mailling becuase I really don´t know which mailling list or mail address is the best one for sending my problem.
 
I needed to set up lynx-like motion in configuration of mc. I did it and saved configuration. The application told me that it saved my configuration to ~/.mc/ini.
 
Before I ended mc I tested new setted lynx-like motion and it worked. Next day I started mc again and lynx-like motion did not work at all.
 
I checked my configuration menu and lynx-like motion was not enabled. Why ? I wanted to check it directly in ini file, but I didn´t found any .mc directory and of course any ini file.
 
I tested this on another system where .mc directory and ini file were there. And it worked with lynx-like motion enabled well. I ended mc twice and it always worked again and again.
 
So as I guess my problem is not actually lynx-like motion, but not being ini file. I checked ownership of my home directory and privileges and it were standard.
 
The problem is the same for user and super-user account. I tested sh and bash command interpreter. No diffrence.
