FvwmTalk(1)                                                        FvwmTalk(1)




NAME
       FvwmTalk - the FVWM command line interface

SYNOPSIS
       FvwmTalk is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.


DESCRIPTION
       The FvwmTalk allows the user to type fvwm commands into a window, and
       have them executed immediately. These commands are usually specfified
       in the .fvwmrc file, or are bound to menu/mouse items as specified in
       that file. This tools is particularly useful for testing new
       configuration ideas, or for implementing temporary changes to your
       environment.


COPYRIGHTS
       The FvwmTalk program, and the concept for interfacing this module to
       the Window Manager, are all original work by Robert Nation

       Copyright 1994, Robert Nation. No guarantees or warranties or anything
       are provided or implied in any way whatsoever. Use this program at your
       own risk. Permission to use this program for any purpose is given, as
       long as the copyright is kept intact.



INITIALIZATION
       So kill me, I can't remember what goes on.


INVOCATION
       FvwmTalk can be invoked by inserting the line 'Module FvwmTalk' in the
       .fvwmrc file. This can be placed on a line by itself, if FvwmTalk is to
       be spawned during fvwm's initialization, or can be bound to a menu or
       mouse button or keystroke to invoke it later. Fvwm will search
       directory specified in the ModulePath configuration option to attempt
       to locate FvwmTalk.


CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       I plead ignorance here. Read the code.
