My thanks to both respondents for the prompt replies.
I use the supplied man page and load it into the vim editor.
If I had searched for "DeskTopSize" rather than for "builtin command" I
would have got from line 152 to line 4162 of the man page in two jumps.
However, the information presented still fails to address my real
problem. It points out that I should now be using the "GotoDesk"
command. And the "GotoDesk" command advises:
GotoDesk prev | arg1 [ arg2 ] [ min max ]
Switches the current viewport to another desktop (workspace, room).
Which still does not tell me how to **run** the command.
It looks as though the missing link may be in:
FVWM Modules -> Start Regular Modules -> FVWM Console -> GotoDesk [arg].
And, doubtless, sooner or later I will get to the full story in my crawl
through the man page(s).
Since this exploration is an educational exercise and I am a geriatric
with plenty of time on my hands, I can wait until all is revealed
- either in man fvwm2 or in man FvwmConsole or perhaps even in man
FvwmCommand.
Meanwhile, let me flag that I am deriving great joy and satisfaction
from the elegance and economy of fvwm2 and from the many useful hints
that are contained in answers to queries posted to the user list.
