What do you mean by 'lying'?! Are you saying that the output of `mc -F` 
doesn't match actual behavior? If yes, then I can hardly think of any 
source of problems other than some kind of permissions issues or maybe 
custom MacPorts patches.

Re: mc not saving config under macOS Sierra 10.12

[Anony Mous]

I figured it out: mc is LYING about where it is saving stuff.

The save actually goes to ~/.local/share/mc

But when I save config in mcedit, it says it's saving it in ~/.config/mc,
which it most certainly is not, nor is it loading it from there. likewise
it's not saving anything in ~/.cedit.

macports had installed as root (sigh) and the various files needed to have
their permissions modified.

I would have caught this if the program hadn't been lying to me about where
it was saving things.

This is mc version 4.8.18
