Looks fine to me. Do you hava a `jed' package installed
(does `dpkg -l jed' give a line that starts with `i'?). If not,
then you should use something like `?package(local.jed):...'.

Also, I assume the file-permissions are OK (not executable, and
readable).

You can try `update-menus -v' or `update-menus -d', to see more
output. (with -d, IIRC, you should see /etc/menu/jed come by).

If that doesn't work, please email me. Maybe it is a bug in the menu
package.

Thanks,
