This is the current feature, nested $[] are not allowed, so effectivelly the first variable inside $[] is not expanded, but all others are ok. This is because $[pict-0-$[page.nx] is considered as one $[] variable. Generally, the rule is: only valid and currently defined $[var.name] are expanded by fvwm, all other $[] strings are left as is. Anyway, if you add additional dollar at the beginning: Echo $$[pict-0-$[page.nx]-$[page.ny]] it will be expanded as you want (I hope so, because you didn't say what you want to get): [FVWM][Echo]: $[pict-0-2-3] Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
