1. How to start dmenu?
You add a line in config.h which ties a script invoking dmenu to a key

2. How to create the menu?
I dont' have an installation right here, but I invoke gm4(see above) to

define(`top_menu',`esyscmd(`dmenu<<END

comms

xlock
END')')
define(`edit_menu',`esyscmd(`dmenu<<END

END')')
define(`run_menu',
`define(`$1_menu_pick',$1_menu())
