    Midnight Commander

    Hey I dont know if any of you use the midnight commander rpm from red hat or if you guys program so I'll just ask and see if anyone here can help me with this subject. I am using midnight commander obviously heh anyways I want to modify midnight commander to show me the hexadecimal numbers and letters for my binary programs that it only displays as a bunch of dots colens and some few words. Anyone know how to do this or know of a forum that I would probably get that answer from?

    Are you sure it doesn't already work? Highlight a binary file.
    Hit F3 key to read. Then F4 key should toggle
    between hex and ascii.

    Hey It works I didn't know that you could do that. How do I use midnight commander to edit such files?
