 * Are you using mc inside a screen(1)?
 
 * Is the command really ignored, or is it just that the output is not 
 shown? To test this, enter the following in the command line:
 
      ls -l | less

 Please run cat(1) instead of the Midnight Commander, press <F3> and 
 <F4>, and tell me what is printed on your terminal. I expect it to look 
 similar to "^[[13~^[[14~".
