This still leaves the problem with '?' and '*'. I think, the new condition option is not necessary. Instead, some filters may be added to variable expansion. I.e.: $[w.name] - expanded to: 'My %^&* window' $[w.name:dquote] - expanded to: "My %^&* window" $[w.name:noquote] - expanded to: My %^&* window $[w.name:glob] - expanded to: 'My %^&\* window' $[w.name:menu] - expanded to: 'My %%^&* window' Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
