No no Mr. 2/13/00 Costa, you have sadly caught amnesia on this point. F3 calls
"mc -v". "mcedit" was the name of a bash shell alias you came up with a year
or two back and got used to. Aaaie!

Agreed, sorry if a misleading impression was given. F4 I now believe calls
"mc -e", and not the mysterious "mcedit".
So anyway, running "mc -v foo.txt" brings up the view window immediately
without going through the main mc menu. It still has an 8-second or so delay,
but at least this answers some of the question.
