I'm not sure what you want, but I only add files manually with 

  darcs add <filename>

I don't quite understand what you're asking here.

  darcs rec -m "message"

  darcs pull [-a]

No visual merger, instead conflicts are marked and you need to work it
out.  This is a bit clumsy, but since darcs is smart about merging, it
doesn't happen too often.  <knocks on wood>

> 6) hg commit -m "merged"

  darcs rec -m "merged"
  darcs send
