How can I edit and save text with F4 from mc commander? I don't know what is save command, what program exit command? or this is not full version ?

The mc in DSL is not the "full" version. It doesn't include mcedit that would typically be a part of an mc distribution. Instead it uses vim.

Save is :w
Save and quit is :wq
Quit is :q
Quit a modified file without saving is :q!

If you are more comfortable using nano as a text-based editor, you can use it in mc by setting your EDITOR variable to nano.
For example, from .bash_profile or .bashrc:
export EDITOR=nano

If you happen to love mcedit, it is available in the mc.uci extension
