You should use:
Code:
menu=$(cat <<MENU...

But in this case you could just do:
Code:
menu="Option1
Option2
Option3
Option4"

When printing the content, don't forget to quote the variable to prevent field splitting:
Code:
$ printf "%s\n" "$menu"
Option1
Option2
Option3
Option4

NAME
XmRemoveFromPostFromList -- a RowColumn function that disables a menu for a particular widget SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/RowColumn.h> void XmRemoveFromPostFromList( Widget menu, Widget post_from_widget); DESCRIPTION
XmRemoveFromPostFromList makes a Popup or Pulldown menu no longer accessible from a widget. This function does not destroy a menu, or deal- locate the memory associated with it. It simply removes the widget from the menu's list of widgets permitted to post that menu. If the menu argument refers to a Popup menu, the event handlers are removed from the post_from_widget widget. If the argument refers to a Pulldown menu, its ID is removed from the XmNsubMenuId of the specified post_from_widget. Also, if the menu is a Pulldown menu, the post_from_widget widget must be either a CascadeButton or a CascadeButtonGadget. menu Specifies the widget ID of a the Popup or Pulldown menu to be made inaccessible from the post_from_widget widget. post_from_widget Specifies the widget ID of the widget which can no longer post the menu referred to by the menu argument..
