It's really going to depend on how the menu is written, but you could try:

opener = self;

function showToolbar() {
//AddItem(id, text, hint, location, alternativeLocation);
menu.addItem("exitid", " EXIT ", "EXIT", "javascript:window.close()", null);
menu.showMenu();
}

You are very welcome, though I'd like to give on bit of advice. If your site uses JavaScript, you should be sure it continues to function for those uses who do not have it enabled. http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/wai-pageauth.html#tech-scripts
