On a previous computer I installed Wbar and by going to menu/desktop/desktop settings I could scroll down to 'wbar config'(or settings); and alter everything - almost.
I've now another computer; Ram520/160HDD puppy528 Full install with 1GB of SWAP.
I've installed wbar and via 'open in text' I changed a couple of things; but as an old, long term newby I'd really like to get back to where I was, with a menu entry.
Any help with this will be very much appreciated...........sarum
How to get back my Wbar menu entry?

well, you can try, on your old computer, to go to /root/.jwm-menu or something like that...
it's the file with the menu entries...
you simply have to search for the menu entries created for wbar...
tell me your results...

You did install a similar version of wbar on the 2nd machine, yes? Old versions like 133 do not have the config gui, which I gather is what you want (as well as the menu entry for it).
If you have jwm on your 1st machine, then /root/.jwmrc will have the info about the jwm menu details .. look in /usr/share/applications for a *.desktop file (with * being something like wbar-config) for the file that makes the menu entry in most wms. Copy this *.desktop file to the 2nd machine (check the 2nd machine to make sure you have the file listed on the exec=<wbar-config or similar> line of that *.desktop file) .. refresh menu and you should be fine. fixmenus and reload for jwm, fixmenus for icewm, obmenu-refresh for openbox and so on - a simple fixmenus in console should do most common wms
If wbar has an icon/button for the wbar-config gui, putting it in the menu is a bit redundant (unless you only use it occasionally and would rather have it as a menu item instead of an icon/button).

yah (the op is a couple weeks old, so he may have solved it already)
I think it depends on the package as to whether a dotdesktop is included (see my 3rd above for why). Heck, I do something similar with 133 and my aemenu for 5 basic variations with my usual filters. About the only thing I think I'm missing is an offset parameter and a few frills that came in with the 2 series (don't like any text at all with wbar so the old 133 suits me fine, config gui imxho)
