Midnight Commander Single Panel

Is there a way to run Midnight Commander with just a single panel? I'm growing tired of how unresponsive nautilus is so I've been playing around with midnight commander in a terminal window. It's pretty good, but for a lot of the things I do, the split view isn't needed or even wanted.

No, there isn't. But you can make one of the panels show the filesystem tree or disk information and you can also resize the panels (Options->Layout), ie. they do not need to be of the same width.

Hmm... I saw that you could resize the panels .. not quite what I was hoping for. And I don't see a way to specify the size of the second panel from the command line. I don't want to have the second panel always set to the minimum size. I only want it set to the minimum size when I'm "browsing" the file system. So, for example, basically I could setup a command in OpenBox to launch "aterm -e mc --second-panel-size=0 /path/to/files"

Another question - it's really cool that the mouse will click through to mc, but is there a way to make the scroll wheel to scroll up and down by 1 line like the up/down arrow key instead of 10 or 20 lines like pageup/pagedown?
