Wow, fvwm history that is before my time? (I think.) All I can come up with is a config file with this: AddToMenu Module-Popup "Modules" Title + "Button-Bar" Module FvwmButtons + "Clean-Up" Module FvwmClean + "Identify" Module FvwmIdent + "SaveDesktop" Module FvwmSave + "Debug" Module FvwmDebug + "Pager" Module FvwmPager 0 1 + "WinList" Module FvwmWinList + "Background" Module FvwmBacker + "IconBox" Module FvwmIconBox + "Banner" Module FvwmBanner + "Talk" Module FvwmTalk + "Prompt" Module FvwmPrompt "hello" raise Looks like it issued a prompt then executed an Fvwm command. I don't remember FvwmClean either. -- Dan Espen
