using fmli to create menu's
I am currently having a problem creating a dynamic Menu that reads in from a file and appends this Menu list with an exit menu item.

the syntax I am using to create the dynamic Menu is

menu="$ARG1 Host names"

`cat Hosts.data | regex '^(''.*)$0$' '
name="$m0"
action=open Menu.Login.mnu $ARG1 $m0

1) This created a menu that had 3 columns, I only wanted 1 column
2) I tried to add an Exit Menu item to the list but it creates one after each Menu list. e.g.

host1
exit
host2
exit
host3
exit

install-menu

install-menu(1) 					      Debian GNU/Linux manual						   install-menu(1)

NAME

       install-menu - Process a menu method and generate the menu files for a window manager or a menu-aware application.

DESCRIPTION

       update-menus(1) computes the list of menu entries and passes it in turn to the menu methods in /etc/menu-methods/. The task of a menu meth-
       ods is to generate menus for a specific window manager.	install-menu provides a generic and customizable way to do that. The documentation
       of the install-menu definition language is available in the Debian Menu manual, a local copy being available in /usr/share/doc/menu/html.

SYNOPSIS

       install-menu [-vh] [--remove] <menu-method>

       Read menu entries from stdin in update-menus --stdout format and generate menu files using the specified menu-method.

       Normally used in menu method scripts as #! /usr/bin/install-menu.

OPTIONS

       -h,--help
	      Show the help message and exit.

       --remove
	      Remove the menu files instead of generating them.

       -v,--verbose
	      Output messages about what the program is doing.

COPYING

       install-menu is distributed under the term of the GNU General Public License version 2, or (at your option) any later version.
