PSS: I figured it out.  It now goes to the line number in both view and edit 
modes

in ~/.bashrc added:
# mc needs VIEWER or PAGER as well as EDITOR set in order to pass line number
VIEWER=tilde
EDITOR=tilde

in ~/.config/mc/ini added:[External editor or viewer parameters]
tilde=%filename:%lineno
Needed to log out and back in for it to take effect

 PS: I'm using mc version 4.8.18 on AntiX17 which is based on Debian Stretch 
and mc comes preinstalled and preconfigured, but I did add the mc-wrapper.sh 
mode.  I am running it from an mrxvt-mini terminal, but I don't think that is 
causing my troubles.

 When I use Find file to get a list of files containing a string, if I am using 
the internal viewer and press F3 on a file from the list it opens the file in 
the viewer and positions me on the line number it found the string at, but when 
I use Tilde, it tries to open the line number itself as a file.  I waant to use 
Tilde as my viewer because I am using it as my editor, and I want the 
functionality between the viewer and editor to be consistent, only differing in 
the ability to change and save.

Tilde can view or edit the file and uses a syntax of:
tilde %filename:%lineno
Note the colon ":" between the filename and line number to go to
How can I configure Midnight Commander to run tilde passing the parameter that 
way?

I added this to my ~/.config/mc/ini but it didn't help:
[External editor or viewer parameters]
tilde=%filename:%lineno
Please tell me how to make this work?
ThanksBobC
