Your "master" file is ~/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc
It can contain multiple "Read" commands, which will read in
instructions from other files. To get a menu to pop up, you have to
bind it to keyboard or mouse action. Before you do, here's the most
common booby-trap in FVWM. Make sure that the statement...
IgnoreModifiers L25
is executed somwhere by fvwm. This prevents shift/capslock/scrollock
from interfering. I set {ALT-F10} to pop up "Mymenu"
Key F10 AT M Menu MyMenu Nop
Oh yeah, we really should define "MyMenu". The syntax for adding
programs is...
+ "visible label" Exec exec program-name
You don't have to use the full path if PATH is set up properly, but I
was a bit pedantic when I was setting up. Here's my main menu. Use it
as a working example. If you don't have one of the listed programs on
your system, it obviously won't run. Modify to suit your needs.

If you had purchased $1000 of _at_home stock in 1999, today you would
have $1.30. If you had purchased $1000 of beer in 1999, today you
would still have $59 in empty cans.
