Hi!

Hmmm... So, did you finally found the documentation, didn't you? Let's
read it aloud then:

       The user menu is a menu of useful actions that can be customized by the
       user. When you access the user menu, the file .mc.menu from the current
       directory is used if it exists, but only if it is owned by user or root
       and  is not world-writable.  If no such file found, ~/.mc/menu is tried
       in the same way, and otherwise mc uses  the  default  system-wide  menu
       /usr/share/mc/mc.menu.

The same applies the the cooledit menu with the exception of the file
locations:

./.cedit.menu
~/.mc/cedit/menu
/usr/share/mc/cedit.menu

Sincerely yours,
Yury V. Zaytsev
