An oracular answer; "nothing" is a synonym of "mu".
I researched this problem today and learned...
 (drum roll)...
How to start 'ile' in a mu Debian xterm window.
1) Mount the DOS drive as umsdos.
        # mount -t umsdos /dev/hda1 /mnt/c
1a) To run 'ile' under Debian Potato, make sure that the 'termcap-compat' library is installed.
        # apt-get install termcap-compat
2) As root, run your favorite xterm, and in that xterm run 'ile', (and load its config 
file 'ilerc'), and have 'ile' run 'chroot'...
        # gnome-terminal -e /mnt/c/linux/usr/bin/ile -/mnt/c/linux/etc/ilerc chroot /mnt/c/linux/
3) An xterm window should pop up.  Load the mu profile**...
        # . /etc/profile
Now mu can find 'mc' and command history and path completion work under 'ash'.
...(Ecstatic, the muList crowd holds up a lit match.)
Except I don't understand how to combine steps 2 & 3 into one line.
Two separate lines work correctly.  But this fails:
        # gnome-terminal -e /mnt/c/linux/usr/bin/ile -/mnt/c/linux/etc/ilerc chroot /mnt/c/linux/ . /etc/profile
...what happens is that an xterm opens and instantly closes.  
How to do it right, in only one line?
(**thanks to MA & JH.)
