If I understand you correctly, this has nothing to do with FvwmScript. Create a function or several sub-functions (if needed) to do the work. Then bind it to a titlebar button, or maybe FvwmScript/FvwmForm action. The function may do something like this in 2.5.x: + I Next (Mozilla) Nop + I TestRc (!Match) Exec mozilla + I TestRc (Match) ThisWindow (Iconified) Iconify off + I TestRc (!Match) Iconify on Or any other if-else construction. You get the idea. Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
