For the record, the xterm I used for this test was the one started from the cygwin-X start menu item.

I still have not found the round tuits to compile a debugging version of MC to check this out in more detail, but I hope to do so sometime in the next 30 days (lots of RL intruding).

I will reply again when I have more information.

Thank you all for your advice and help.
