By the way, with my latest commit you can say

  EchoFuncDefinition fn2
-->
  [FVWM][EchoFuncDefinition]: definition of function 'fn2':
  [FVWM][EchoFuncDefinition]:   i exec exec rxvt


You can immediately see what has happened.

Ciao

This works ok (substitute rxvt for xterm if appropriate):

AddToFunc fn I Exec exec rxvt $*
fn -e sleep 4

this is ok too:

AddToFunc fn3 I Test (x rxvt) Exec exec rxvt $*
fn3 -e sleep 4

but this isn't:

AddToFunc fn2
Test (x rxvt) + I Exec exec rxvt $*
fn2 -e sleep 4


The Test command expands the $* when it is executed.  Try

 Test (x rxvt) + I Exec exec rxvt $$*
 



It is also possible to use

   - Test (x xterm)  + I Exec exec xterm $*
  ^^^

The Test command expands the $* when it is executed.  Try

  Test (x rxvt) + I Exec exec rxvt $$*

function oddity

[Scott Smedley]

Hi all,

I need confirmation I'm not crazy.

This works ok (substitute rxvt for xterm if appropriate):

AddToFunc fn I Exec exec rxvt $*
fn -e sleep 4

this is ok too:

AddToFunc fn3 I Test (x rxvt) Exec exec rxvt $*
fn3 -e sleep 4

but this isn't:

AddToFunc fn2
Test (x rxvt) + I Exec exec rxvt $*
fn2 -e sleep 4

(it starts up an interactive shell, instead of sleeping & exiting)

Am I missing something? or am I going to have to use the source?

Scott.
