I'm still confused. If you're in your home folder,

Code:

nano ~/.fluxbox/menu

Should do the same thing as

Code:

nano .fluxbox/menu

But if it works, it works

Are you using a Bash shell? That's the only issue I could think of that wouldn't accept '~'.

"~/" is the home directory. It's extremely odd that it doesn't work for you.

As far as that ~/.fluxbox/startup thing, I was having issues with trying to run stuff from it, so that's why I recommended something else. But if it works for you, that's definitely the best way to do it.

If you're doing it as root then I understand, as ~ points to the home folder of the current user, but if you're doing it as a regular user, then I don't get it.

However, it doesn't really matter if I understand or not, it only matters if it works
