OK, having taken a better look at what you're doing, I think this is what you were looking for. It loads from a newline-separated file, and can append to it. main() returns a value depending on what option you select, 1 for the first line, etc, etc, or 127 if no selection.

Code:
#include <ncurses.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>      // for isspace()

int barmenu(const char const **array, int row, int col,
        int arraylength, int width, int menulength, int selection);

// Removes whitespace from the end of strings
void chomp(char *str)
{
        int len=strlen(str);

        if(len>0)
        while((len>0) && isspace(str[len-1]))
                str[--len]='\0';
}

int main(void)
{
        char buf[128];
        int selection,row=1,col=10,arraylength=0,width=5, menulength=5;

        char **testarray=NULL;
        FILE *fp=fopen("filename","r");

        while(fgets(buf,128,fp) != NULL)
        {
                chomp(buf); // Remove \n from end of line
                if(strlen(buf) > width) width=strlen(buf);
                if(!buf[0]) continue; // Ignore blank lines

                arraylength++;
                // Room for n+1 elements of char * size.
                testarray=realloc(testarray, sizeof(char *)*(arraylength+1));
                // strdup is an easy str=malloc(strlen(s)+1); strcpy(str,s);
                testarray[arraylength-1]=strdup(buf);
        }

        // The +1 gives us room for a NULL on the end.  Makes it easier to find crashes.
        testarray[arraylength]=NULL;
        fclose(fp);

        // If no elements were loaded, it will still be NULL
        if(testarray == NULL)
        {
                fprintf(stderr, "Unable to load options\n");
                exit(1);
        }

        initscr();
        noecho();
        keypad(stdscr,TRUE);

        selection=barmenu((const char const **)testarray,row,col,arraylength,width,menulength,0);

        mvprintw(15,0,"Selection= %d",selection);
        refresh();
        getch();
        endwin();

        // Add another option to file
        fp=fopen("filename","a");
        fputs("whatever\n", fp);
        fclose(fp);

        // We allocated all this stuff, so free it.
        for(col=0; col<arraylength; col++) if(testarray[col]) free(testarray[col]);
        free(testarray);

        // Cannot return -1 to commandline.  127 is the maximum we should return.
        if(selection < 0) return(127);
        // 0 has special meaning, return n+1
        return selection+1;
}

int barmenu(const char const **array, int row, int col,
        int arraylength, int width, int menulength, int selection)
{
        int counter,offset=0,ky=0;

                 offset=selection-menulength+1;

         sprintf(formatstring,"%%-%ds",width); // remove - sign to right-justify the menu items
