If what you want is to do multiple line shell scripty things from fvwm
you can always use the fact that any shell worthy of the name can do
everything on one line. e.g.
AddToFunc test "I" Exec for I in 1 2 3 4 5; do echo $I; done
If it's a real whopper of a script I would recommend you put in in a
separate file to be Exec'd from fvwm. Big scripts get changed often and
including the script in the fvwm config will mean restarting fvwm every
time the script changes.
Cheers,
Tim.
