Add/Integrate the following to your ".twmrc" file (it should be in your
home-directory):

  Button1 =       : root                  : f.menu "RootMenu"
  Menu "RootMenu"
  {
          "Utilities"                             f.title
          "Xterms ..."                            f.menu "XTerms"
          "Restart Twm" ("grey85":"IndianRed")    f.restart
          "Exit X-Windows" ("grey85":"red")       f.quit
  }

  Menu "XTerms"
  {
          "Xterm"                                 ! "xterm &"
          "Xterm with scrollbar"                  ! "xterm -sb -sl 1000 &"
  }

Then restart X and press the left mousebutton on the root-window (desktop-
background).

Have a look at "man twm".
