Abstract. As the third of our series of papers on differential geometry of microlinear Frölicher spaces is this paper devoted to the Frölicher-Nijenhuis calculus of their named bracket. The main result is that the Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket satisfies the graded Jacobi identity. It is also shown that the Lie derivation preserves the Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket. Our definitions and discussions are highly geometric, while Frölicher and Nijenhuis' original definitions and discussions were largely algebraic.
