Well, you've got off to a good start with the reading. Here are a couple of entries from my .menu directory. They might help to put you on the right track. The `local' is important and running `update-menus' as a user should be sufficient. copernicus:$ less .menu/physica ?package(local.physica): \ needs="text" \ section=Apps/Math \ title="physica" \ command=/usr/local/bin/physica copernicus:$ less .menu/applix ?package(local.applix): \ needs=x11 \ section=Apps/Editors \ title="Applix" \ icon=/usr/local/applix/etc/mini-applix.xpm \ command=/usr/local/applix/bin/applix > I am running unstable with PWM and xdm. Is this window manager specific? Not as far as I know. Brian.
