how can I add console apps to the fluxbox menus like irssi and vim?

I tried

[exec] (name) {location}
and
[exec] (name) {fbrun location}

any ideas? thanks

for vim theres, [exec] (Vim) {gvim}. its a graphical vim. i dont know about exec console apps though, id like to know too.

like so:

[exec] (mp3blaster) {Eterm -O --scrollbar=no -e mp3blaster}

or for one that you may want to run as root:

[exec] (EmelfmSU) {Eterm -O --geometry 34x2 --cmod-blue 216 --cmod-green 71 --cmod-red 71 -e su -c emelfm}

in this case a small login box pops up and you login there and the app (in this case a gui one) launches as root.

for the SU one, can I use it as a normal user? im guessing as long as I'm in the wheel group, it'll ask for my pw first

yeah it will prompt for your password. i assume if you have sudoo set up you cuold likely use sudo instead of su -c
