Well, you've got off to a good start with the reading. Here are a
couple of entries from my .menu directory. They might help to put you
on the right track. The `local' is important and running `update-menus'
as a user should be sufficient.
copernicus:$ less .menu/physica
?package(local.physica): \
needs="text" \
section=Apps/Math \
title="physica" \
command=/usr/local/bin/physica
copernicus:$ less .menu/applix
?package(local.applix): \
needs=x11 \
section=Apps/Editors \
title="Applix" \
icon=/usr/local/applix/etc/mini-applix.xpm \
command=/usr/local/applix/bin/applix

Not as far as I know.
