Your approach presents your menu to the user only once and if he has not selected to exit then it goes on to loop infinitely.
The proper approach should be to loop the menu too so that once you have served the users request for the first time you again go back to the user to get his input and ask him whether he wants to quit if yes then get out of the loop
And also you dont need to have ;; in every line within case statement .Search for some case examples I am sure you will come to know what is going wrong in your script

xmaddtopostfromlist
XmAddToPostFromList(library call) XmAddToPostFromList(library call)
NAME
XmAddToPostFromList -- a RowColumn function that makes a menu accessible from more than one widget
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/RowColumn.h>
void XmAddToPostFromList(
Widget menu,
Widget post_from_widget);
DESCRIPTION
XmAddToPostFromList makes a menu accessible from more than one widget. After a menu is once created, this function may be used to make that
menu accessible from a second widget. The process may be repeated indefinitely. In other words, where an application would use XmCreatePop-
upMenu or XmCreatePulldownMenu or their equivalent to create a new menu identical to one that already exists, it can use this function to
reuse that earlier menu.
If menu refers to a Popup menu, then the post_from_widget widget can now pop up the specified menu. The actual posting of the menu occurs
as it always does, either through an event handler, or the automatic popup menu support (see the XmRowColumn(3) reference page).
If menu refers to a Pulldown menu, its ID is placed in the XmNsubMenuId resource of the specified post_from_widget. In this case, the
post_from_widget widget must be either a CascadeButton or a CascadeButtonGadget.
Note that this function manipulates the internal structures themselves, not a copy of them.
menu Specifies the ID of the RowColumn widget containing the menu (Popup or Pulldown) to be made accessible from the widget.
post_from_widget
Specifies the widget ID of the widget which will now be able to post the menu specified by menu.
For a complete definition of RowColumn and its associated resources, see XmRowColumn(3).
