I don't have problems with the quotes. Works fine.
I tried "Wait". This doesn't do what I want. Imagine this case: I start
xisp through the menu, it dials in. I minimize the window. I disconnect
vie SIGUSR2. Now I want to cennect again via the menu. A "Wait" will wait
for the minimized (or even a new?) window to (re)appear, wouldn't it?
I use this function which works reasonable well:
DestroyFunc connect-xisp
AddToFunc connect-xisp
+ "I" None ["X-ISP"] exec xtoolwait -timeout 3 xisp\
-bgcol '#0000b0'; kill -SIGUSR1\
`cat /home/martinb/.xisppid`
+ "I" Exec kill -SIGUSR1 `cat /home/martinb/.xisppid`
Sometimes (after I restart fvwm, or if I invoke the function while I am
not at page 0,0) it will not work. Either xisp won't start altogether or
it won't dial in or it will start two times... "Interesting feature" as
the programmers say :-)

Where do I get such "pidof" utility from? I don't have one and it sounds
as is I really should have one :-)
Ciao,

BTW: If you use debian linux, you can get the new xisp package from
ftp://134.95.210.54/pub
