I tried right this without success. For example the single command:

answers nothing (empty string) which is not good, I suppose. Thank you very much for the hint anyway. I get the idea, so now I should find a way.

That's strange. I haven't tested it, but that much, at least works for me. Well, at least it does from my shell with 'export area=1'

By the way, is there a documentation available for the wi_* functions? I didn't find them in /usr/share/doc/wmii/wmii.pdf.

No, they're defined in wmii.sh and are generally simple enough to be clear without documentation (with a few exceptions like wi_events and wi_fnmenu). I'll add documentation to wmii.sh in the near future, though.

Can't say that I like the idea much myself, but to each his own.

His own… screen, you mean? On the 15" screen I had during my
hollidays, I can swear that such a feature would have been very
convenient.

Perhaps, but I've used 15" monitors in the past and have never seen the need, though I've tended to avoid using multiple columns in that case.

meet schedules.  Real Programmers ignore schedules.
