Re: FVWM: Generalized PipeRead

Your first suggestion:

"I" Exec xterm -fg `fg.sh` -bg `bg.sh`

does work for me. I should have thought of it.
It seems to me that with the current implementation of Exec I can follow
exec by any shell command I want so long as it does not use environment
variables.

As to your second suggestion:

PipeRead "echo Exec xterm -bg `bg.sh` -fg `fg.sh`"

This also works. For the particulr problem I posed the first solution is
a little bit cleaner but your second solution shows that PipeRead is even
more powerful than I thought eliminating the need for a generalized
version. Thanks! Keep up the good work!

Best Regards,

Neil
