Right!! I found this out at 2 AM this morning!
Two kudos tho, it works here in only /etc/menu or ~/.menu.
It doesn't seem to work in /root/.menu.
Checking the output of update-menus doesn't even indicate it
even checks /root/.menu. So I have not been able to remove the
netscape entries from Apps/net, yet.
Thanks for the post
