Use this piece of code (4 lines) that builds and shows requested menu.
AddToFunc ShowMyDeskMenu
+ I DestroyMenu MyDeskMenu
+ I PipeRead `for i in 0 1 2 3; do echo -n 'AddToMenu MyDeskMenu "';
[ $$d = ${i} ] && echo -n "**"; echo \\ ${i}'" GotoDesk '${i}; done
^
|__ real TAB for better alignment
+ I Menu MyDeskMenu
Double dollar is to expand desk at run time, not at func definition time.
Double star is to escape star in AddToMenu.
Double slash is to escape TAB (one for FVWM, another for /bin/sh), so TAB
is passed to echo.
${i} ensures FVWM does not expands var, but /bin/sh does.

Mikhael.
