Thanks for explaining that. So, say I create a function for it rather than
starting the script in the startfunction, when I define the particular
button i reference the function to get the text like this:
*Foo: 1x1, Id MyButton, Title MyDateFunction)
Would that do it, do you think?
Are you referring to something like this (assuming FvwmButtons has
already been started):
DestroyFunc SomeFunc
AddToFunc SomeFunc
+ I SendToModule Foo ChangeButton MyButton Title $*
SomeFunc This is the text I want in the button called 'MyButton'
That would also work, yes. Assuming that's what you meant.

Yeah that's it. The other thing I just thought of, is as I only want the
current day number and month, I don't need the text to be updated during
the existence of the fvwmbuttons dock; so, when it starts, the command
in the function is run to get the day/month and set in the button so i'm
assuming that wouldn't exhaust piperead so much. Do you think, then,
using piperead might be better?
