Hmm, that looks a bit strange to me. In a previous mail you wrote your 
command was "~/slowcd.txt". I suppose you changed the command name and 
you made a directory "bin" due to suggestions in this thread. Where did 
you make that directory? Is it really in "/home"? If you made it in your 
home directory, the file would rather be "/home/douglas/bin/slowcd.sh" 
(if your login name is douglas). Please check with ls that you use the 
correct path for the script and that it is executable. It should look 
like this:

ls -l /home/douglas/bin/slowcd.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 douglas douglas 23 Jan 28 19:16 /home/douglas/bin/slowcd.sh

Other than that, I would suggest you use the entire path for the setcd 
command, i.e. make your script like this:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/setcd -x 1

I think that might even work, if you use the command directly at the menu 
entry.

If it still doesn't work, do you see any error message in the terminal 
which should pop up when you select the menu entry? If the terminal 
closes too fast, you could append a command like "sleep 20" at the end of 
your script. Then the terminal would stay opened for 20 seconds so you 
could see messages from the script.
