Thanks for any ideas...

I believe any console-based file manager will have the same problem on the Itablets, mainly because apparently whenever you touch the screen in an xterm, the input panel will pop up. The entire xterm screen is considered by the system as one input zone, so unless someone e.g. writes an Itablet version of ncurses that recognizes scrollbars and allows selection, you're SOL.

Still, nothing GUI available for the Itablet beats mc's power...
