Thankyou for the clue Nils.

But I don't think this is quite what I'm looking for. As far as I can
see the Command Shortcuts section is used to assign a shortcut to load an
application. Even if I added mc to the kmenu with the required "run in
terminal" option setting a command shortcut would only initialize another
instance of mc in a new terminal window. Wouldn't it?  

I'm looking to activate/unblock a couple of internal application
shortcuts INSIDE the terminal application mc (Midnight Commander) which
is my preferred file manager... And which must run inside a terminal such
as Konsole, or in one of the virtual consoles such as you can access with
<ctrl>+<alt>+<F2> (and return to the gui from with <alt>+<F7>) The odd
thing is that as I mentioned in my 2nd message to this thread, these
shortcuts do work if mc is running in a virtual console. But they fail when running inside Konsole (with both kubuntu 8.4 & kubuntu 8.10) The
difference with the other distros is that with them, these shortcuts do
work when mc is running in konsole...
