Ok i was trying to make a menu..its my first time and i dont know what programming lenguage is that..i was thinking its C but here what i got:

Code:

("Main-Menu",
 ("XTerm", EXEC, "xterm -sb"),
 ("Run...", SHEXEC, "%a(Run,Type command to run:)"),
 ("Xmms", EXEC, "xmms"),
 ("Xchat", EXEC, "xchat"),
 ("Menu",
  ("Applications",
   ("CD Burnning + Compression + other",
    ("xmag", EXEC, "xmag"),
    ("CD Bake Oven", EXEC, "cdbakeoven"),
    ("GCombust", EXEC, "/usr/bin/gcombust"),
    ("Gnome-Toaster", EXEC, "/usr/bin/gtoaster"),
    ("K3b", EXEC, "k3b"),
    ("Ark", EXEC, "ark"),
    ("File-Roller", EXEC, "file-roller"),
    ("Gnozip", EXEC, "gnozip")
    ),
  ("Exit",
   ("Log Off", EXIT),
   ("Restart WM", RESTART),
   ("Restart PC", EXEC, "reboot"),
   ("Shutdown", EXEC, "shutdown -h")
   ),
  ("Restart PC", EXEC, "reboot"),
  ("Shutdown", EXEC, "shutdown -h")
 )
)

My error is in

Code:

   ),
  ("Exit",

when you close menu you need one space but i did 2 and i dont know how to make there a space so im very confused i tried everything to put there..please someone tell mee what to put there for not to be error..or it might be something different i cant figure it out..

i tried that and it didnt work

Code:

    ),
   ),
  ("Exit",

I'm curious why you are editing by hand, and not using WindowMaker's built in menu editor (Wprefs)?

Well i guess its different for all WMs then because the blackbox menu is way differently setup... but yeah id suggest using a editor or downloadng a good one because one stupid mistake and you mess it up :-p
