mc is derived from the 'classical Nortons Commander. Having a screen, where the little-man-in-the-box can write messages to you, is better than an on/off light or buzzer.
2 screens are much better, because many operations are 'binary', eg. moving From & To; comparing A & B................ 3 Screens is not proportionately more useful. Many tasks that one might do with paper on a desk, require 4..6 sheets. M$-win tries to simulate this. IMO ETHOberon and derivatives of plan9, which copied ETHO are much better. wily is the public-domain linux version for plan9's version. If you're reading a text-file of 2'345 lines, at line 1'234, and you want to see how-many time the current word, appears in the REST of the text, and in what context, = do you want to lose your current 'place' ? = if the system can make a mirror-copy, that you can serch/scroll, do you want it to start at line 1, or at the current position? == Chris Glur.
