how to use "Desktop Entry" files?

[Christopher Taylor]

I followed this procedure:
1.  Right clicked on desktop to get menu.
2.  Select settings.
3.  Select menu.
4.  On the menu editor I was able to determine the path to the external menu
file.
5.  I then browsed to that same file and selected it as if I was replacing
the file that was shown in the menu editor.
6.  Save and exit.

This is as close as I can remember it.  I am at work and cannot reproduce
for a few more hours.
