problem solved -- I had been editing a local .mc/mc.ext file, but had failed to remove the .mc/bindings link ot the default bindings. After several attempts failed, I thought I must have badly misinterpreted the man pages, and that perhaps mc.ext did something else entirely... anyway, it's all ok now, thanks. mc is so FAST!
