Would you like to reread a man page of mc?

[quote]
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.

No. There is no an IRC channel, but there is a jabber room:
mc-dev conference jabber org
