I wasn't requesting a new feature :) The post was inspired by mail I've received from a user of MC on Cygwin - asking why there is no '-a' option. I did some investigation and I was under the impression that if the option is not there, there should be an already existing way to do so. I read some docs on terminfo and I thought that by pressing some key-sequces one can get what he wants - i.e. alternate graphic chars. I also found the acs_map and thought about rewriting it. Since this is not a showstopper issue I can try and code it by myself - as a coding experience ;) Thanks!
