One way we could support this is to call the browser with a dummy term
(e.g. unit) when the 'browse' command is given no arguments.  That way
you could put something like the following in your .mdbrc:

	browse
	set format pretty
	set depth 5
	 ...
	quit

If folks think this is a good idea, then I'm happy to go ahead and
implement it.

Cheers,
Mark.
