frivolous question, I know. but how do you stop the welcome screen from appearing?
push escape
Thanks, I already knew that, but I guess you’re saying “deal with it”. Fine…I can deal with it.
Thanks again, I’ll stop complaining now.
no, no. I don’t mean to sound short. That is honestly the only way I myself have found to get to the UI as quickly as possible. I don’t have a definitive answer. I’m just throwing out one suggestion. 
For technical reasons that I’m not at liberty to go into, you can’t stop the welcome screen from appearing.
