If you give enough information on the command line that WinBoard knows exactly
what you want to do, it won't bring up the startup dialog.  For engine-user
mode, you have to select the mode with the /cp option, and specify *both* chess
engines with /fcp= and /scp=.  I'm sorry this isn't explained in the
documentation.

See the WinBoard help file and FAQ if you need more information about the
options mentioned or don't know what "the command line" means.
