Helper programs
---------------
The F3 and F4 keys are normally bound to actions 'view' and 'edit', similarly to
Norton Commander and other orthodox file managers. The helper programs used
here may be changed by setting the PAGER and VISUAL (or EDITOR) environment
variables.
While it is mostly possible to get 'mcview' working using an invocation like
`PAGER='mcview -u' sdn`, beware that this helper cannot read files from its
standard input, nor does it enable overstrike processing by default (F9, could
be hacked around in 'mc.ext' by turning on the `nroff` switch for a custom file
extension, just without actually invoking 'nroff'), and thus it can't show the
program help. 'sdn' is currently optimised for 'less' as the pager.
