FVWM: Using output of external programs.

Hello,

I have a small script which receives one argument, builds menus
and echos fvwm commands to create them. I added the following line
to .fvwm file in order to be able to use menus created by that script:

PipeRead 'menu-builder ~/.fvwm/menu'

but when I try to pop up one of the created menus (executing "popup XYZ"
from FvwmConsole), I get an error:

"Menu XYZ does not exists".

If I ran the script manually and copy/paste it's output into
FvwmConsole and then try to pop up menus, it works.

What can I do so that the script will work automatically
(I want to use that script rather than the standard ones for
menu creation)?

I use fvwm 2.5.12.

Daniel.
