Cat to /.awesome ?

I've installed awesome 2.3.3 from the AUR.  In trying to learn how to customize it, I see that I need files such as ~/.awesome/menu (and it seems that most other customizations require something similar).  I'm supposed to "cat a file", as ~/.awesome is not a directory.  I think I did this (cat > ~/.awesome/menu firefox xterm Ctrl-D) but "Mod4" + 'p' does nothing.  I've got a socket file ~/.awesome_ctl.o, but I have no idea what that is.  Anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?  There seems to be quite a bit about customizing online, but they're beyond my n00bness without this.  Thanks much.

Re: Cat to /.awesome ?

If you just want a simple launcher, then pacman -S gmrun and then add to your .awesomerc:

key
    {
        modkey = {"Mod4"}
        key = "r"
        command = "spawn"
    arg = "exec gmrun"
    }

(superkey + r)

Then wait a couple of weeks till awesome3 gets released and start all over

$ mkdir ~/.awesome                      # this creates the .awesome directory
$ > ~/.awesome/menu                     # this creates the menu file
