: **TWM and Derivatives**
You can create a menu for TWM running **xdgmenumaker** like this:
``$ xdgmenumaker -f twm > ~/.twm-xdgmenu``
If you're using the standard TWM, then unfortunately you'll have to
manually copy/paste the contents of the generated //~/.twm-xdgmenu// file
into your //~/.twmrc// manually. You could then add something like this
to your main menu definition:
```
"Applications" f.menu "xdgmenu"
```
It could be possible to create a script that updates the menus inside
the main //~/.twmrc// settings file, but I'll leave that as an exercise
for the user.
If you're using CTWM or VTWM, instead of manually copy/pasting the menu
contents into your settings file, you could just add an include line
like this:
```
sinclude(`/home/george/.twm-xdgmenu')
```
//Note:// In order for this to work with VTWM, **vtwm** has to be called
with the //-m// switch.
