Tom,

This seemed to simple since it sounds like you know your way around your
rc file but could you do something like

AddToFunction MyRestart
+ "I" echo $1
+ "I" Restart $HOME/RunWM

AddToMenu RestartMenu
+ "I" MyRestart FvwmFoo
+ "I" MyRestart FvwmBar

That would call a function that could do both.
