Does it have third panel with command like ?

That is what defines Twin-Panel filemanager: two panels and command line. Two panels by itself are not a big deal.

Actually, yes. You can split the window left/right, and then add a full
terminal emulator at the bottom. You can actually split the windows
arbitrarily top/bottom and left/right to have a grid of 4 file manager
windows and a command line at the bottom.

Four panels are useless. It's Ok to work with two panels: two possibilities (left active/right inactive vs left inactive/right active). With four panels there are 24 possibilities and navigation becomess a mess (mouse is no-go if you want speed).

Hmm... Looks like it's time to install and check Konqueror once more. Terminal emulator is integrated with panels, right ? I.e.: if I change current directory in terminal emulation panels on top will be affected as well and vice versa - this is not just three unrelated windows, right ?

I'm pretty happy with MC, actually - but there are known problems and development is stalled...
