As discussed at the latest JLUG meeting, here is how I make midnight
commander change to the last used directory when it is exited.
You want to add this alias to /etc/profile or a user specific profile.
alias mc='. /usr/share/mc/bin/mc-wrapper.sh'
What mc-wrapper.sh does is call mc with the -P PathFileName option.
The -P option causes mc to write the last used directory name to the
specifed file upon exit. The script then uses the file to change to
that directory. This works with Debian Lenny.
