My last message was premature.  I can't seem to make this work and I
can't find evidence of it in the wiki besides once in the changelog.
I put the <middle>yes</middle> directive inside every <menu></menu> in
rc.xml, then menu.xml, then both, then in various top-level <menu>
entries.  None of which worked.  Is there something I'm missing?  I am
using OB 3.4.5 and I did remember to reconfigure after each change.
