Assuming that you use AS 1.5betaX you should usually have one file 
for each entry in your startmenu. Looking like this: 

Exec "Rxvt" exec rxvt & 

The second entry "Rxvt" is the part that will appear in the startmenu,
even when the file is called 0_foo_bar. Just look into
/usr/local/share/afterstep/start/ to see what entries were made by the
the developers (also look there to see how the mini-pixmap stuff is
working).

I always use 

$ echo "Exec \"Rxvt\" exec rxvt &" > 1_rxvt

to produce new entries, since that doesn't happens so often, I didn't find 
it useful to write a script for this ;-)

After putting new entries into the right places (~/G/L/A/s/...) you should 
choose Quit->Update startmenu from the startmenu to have AS re-read all
the files.
