FVWM Experts,

Does anyone know the answer to this question?
Why does an empty line on the AddToFunc line cause a large delay?
If I had a preprocessor creating these files, and selecting from a
predefined set of commands to put in the function, I find it simpler,
and IMHO elegant to define the function that will be modified without
tacking the definition onto the same line.

For menus at least a title definition makes sense on the first line.
