Just be careful with the filenames when you read them in via PipeRead or send them to FvwmButtons with "SendToModule changebutton". You probably want to forbid a some characters in file names (single and double quotes, backticks, backslashes, newlines, dollar characters and maybe other whitespace. If you pass them to fvwm, bad things could happen. Ciao Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Dominik Vogt
