HTML files not open in MC

["Peter H." <heisspf@skyinet.net>]

Hi,

In the file manager program "mc" version 4.6.0 html files will not open 
anymore when clicked on. Neither in X nor in console mode. In the latter lynx 
should come into play.

My settings in ~/.mc/bindings are:

# html                                                                          
regex/\.([Hh]tml?|HTML?|stm?)$                                                 

        Open=if echo "%d/%p" | grep ^ftp; then $viewer %d/%p; else $viewer 
file:
%p; fi                                                                         

        Open=if [ x$DISPLAY = x:0.0 ]; then dillo file:%f; else lynx %f ; fi   
        View=%view{ascii} lynx -dump -force_html %f;                           

        Run with AppletViewer=appletviewer %f                                  

        View with lynx=lynx file://%f

With this I get the error:
/tmp/mc-heisspf/mcexty1yKKb: line 2: file:Exotismus.html: command not found

and the file /tmp/mc-heisspf/mcexty1yKKb is:
#! /bin/sh                                                                      
if echo "/home/peter/HTMLs/Exotismus.html" | grep ^ftp; then $viewer 
/home/peter
/HTMLs/Exotismus.html; else $viewer file:Exotismus.html; fi

I had the problem before with dillo when I upgraded to 8.4. this was solved 
adding "file:" in the line "then dillo file:%f", however, lynx always worked 
in the console.

Now if I remove "file:" in the line "..else $viewer %p; fi" I get the error:
./Exotismus.html: Permission denied

and the /tmp/mc-heisspf/* reads:
if echo "/home/peter/HTMLs/Exotismus.html" | grep ^ftp; then $viewer 
/home/peter
/HTMLs/Exotismus.html; else $viewer Exotismus.html; fi

Lynx still does not come up on the console and I get the error message: 
Permission denied.

It seems in the else statement the $viewer does not get anymore the path where 
the file is based.

So I added %d/ to "else $viewer %p" in .mc/bindings and I get Permission 
denied, adding file:%d/%p I get command not found. In the /tmp/mc-heissp/* in 
the else statement $viewer has then the correct directory path either with or 
w/o file:.

How to resolve?

Thanks & regards
