Those are 2 examples of how to do something similar to FvwmTalk using
FvwmForm.

> 2. what is FvwmForm Alias?

Hmm, doesn't look like its explained very well in the 2.2.4 man page.
Heres the current man page explanation adjusted to describe 2.2.4:

     Normally you would invoke FvwmForm with an alias represent the
     name of a form, and its configuration commands. For example, the
     command "Module FvwmForm Rlogin" uses configuration commands
     starting with "*Rlogin".

> 3. what does the term swallowing refer to?

Embedding an application inside an fvwm module. This is how Perfmeters
get embedded in FvwmButtons.

I don't know what you mean. Do you want to know why we provide samples,
or what MailFunction does?

We provide samples to help people understand fvwm.

Mailfunction shows how to have one menu entry that both starts and
deiconifies and focuses an application.

> 5. why would i need remote logins? eg. snoopy?

If you had more than one computer and you wanted to access it remotely
the example shows how.
