as i am very used to mc, i installed it in puppy, too.
the problem is, some very important function keys do not work - for example, f10 minimizes mc windows, f9 also does something not expected).
how can i make sure all function keys work in mc ? is this related to windowmanager (default, fvwm95, it think) shortcut keys ?
Wacky function keys in Midnight Commander
mc - is Midnight Commander
mc - not being installed (and too hard to install) in the earlier versions is the reason I left Puppy for a while. It is still not installed on current releases, but it is an easy dotpup install.
mc - is modeled after the Norton Commander
mc - is a curses based dual paned file manager, ftp client and much more

I personally recommend mc-plus dotpup by AlienX

richv, I'd failed to figure out how ot get fvwm95 to send F1, F2, F3 and F4 to any console. F9, F10, F11 are defined in .fvwm95rc and can be fixed.
if you challenge yourself to fix F1 thru F4 and suceed. Please write and tell me how ya done it.
If you want F1 thru F4 for console use in X, I suggest icwm.
I suppose you can get mrxvt at the pup download pages. I got it in this forum in the additional software section. At least two releases over there. I think you will have to play around some.
I also recommend mrxvtset because little ole me complied it and distributed it - also it is a cool util.
I run bash exclusively.
If you install mrxvt - as an additional bonus I'll give you a genuine byte for byte of my .mrxvtrc file.
