OK, that put me on the right track. The entire function that I'm using is: AddToFunc "CreateStartMenu" + "I" DestroyMenu JizzBoneMenu + "I" PipeRead 'echo `/bin/hostname -s` > $HOME/.fvwm/.hostname' + "I" PipeRead 'echo "AddToMenu JizzBoneMenu `/bin/cat $HOME/.fvwm/.hostname` Title"' + "I" PipeRead '/bin/cat $HOME/.fvwm/.startmenu' + "I" /bin/rm $HOME/.fvwm/.hostname I just needed to put "PipeRead 'echo ..." in front of the entire line.
