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 envi-
       ronment.


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

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  direc-
       tory  specified  in the ModulePath configuration option to
       attempt to locate FvwmTalk.


CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       I plead ignorance here. Read the code.
