Create your own menu file and place it in ~/.menu or /etc/menu.
an example:
weasel@marvin:~/.menu$ cat local.netscape
# made by PP on Wed Feb 9 22:05:21 CET 2000
?package(local.netscape):\
needs=X11\
section=Apps/Net\
title="Netscape"\
longtitle="Netscape Navigator"\
command="/usr/local/bin/netscape"\
shortcut="Control+Mod1+c"
Run update-menus for the changes to take effect.
(and perhaps restart you windowmanager (not needed for wmaker at least))
Also read the documentation in /usr/share/doc/menu/
HTH
yours,
peter
