'mc' stands for midnight commander. It is a ncurses based file manager
(typically two areas from where you can do files copy and so on),
extended to view/edit files, filtering, FTP browsing (like if the
remote stuff was local) and so on. It is really used on console-only
systems, especially if gpm (mouse manager) is running.

Regards, Boris.

MC or midnight commander is a file manager that can be run
from the console or gui.
It is a great console tool especially for those just getting
started in linux.
type 
mc
at the command prompt to run the program.
The menues are very intuitive and it allows you to delete,
copy, rename, view or edit files.
It has a built in text editor and can be used to view
anything from HTML source code to JPGs.

Same operations used on files can be done on directories.

Here are some more links with information to help explain
more or to obtain a copy of this program if your
distribution didn't come with it.  Mine did.
