Transient Mark Mode on by Default?

[Tim Visher]

Hello Everyone,

Once again I need help with a disparity between my home installation
and my work installation.  At work, on Windows, Emacs appears to have
the standard mark mode turned on by default (i.e. the mark gets set
and activated automatically and does not highlight the region).  At
home, on my Mac, it appears that the mark-mode is Transient by
default, which really is undesireable as a lot of the little work
flows I've developed at work (such as M-< M-w to grab the contents of
a buffer that I just finished writing) just don't work nearly as well
when I have to remember to set the mark manually, nor do they look
nearly as clean when the highlighting junk comes up.  Anyone know how
I can fix that?
