You change the startmenu under the ~/G/L/A/start tree. If you
wanted a drop down list called "Graphics" you'd create a directory under
~/G/L/A/start called Graphics. And the items that appear in the menu when
you moved your mouse to the edge of the title Graphics in the startmenu
would be the files under that Graphics directory. For instance for the
Gimp you would have a file called "Gimp" which had only "gimp &" in it.
This is the "real" method in which AfterStep functions - which is
dependent upon a few compile time options [which I mentioned in those two
archive mails below]. If you feel this is not how the bastardized RedHat
version works - get the "Official AfterStep" from the afterstep ftp site -
rpm's are available and methods for removing the RH version are in the
archives. Furthermore complain to Red Hat for not giving adequate
information on modifing "their" version of AfterStep!
