User menu auto-launch

[rgr sdf lonestar org (Rob Ristroph)]

How can I configure MC so that when it is launched, the user menu
(usually called up with F2) comes up automatically ?

MC has this behaviour on one computer I have and not on several
others, but in examining the diff's of the .mc/ini files I don't see
the flag that is responsible.

Thanks in advance,
