One related thing I do not understand from the top of my head. The following commands generate the following output: next echo $w next next echo $w next next echo $$w next next echo $$$$$w [FVWM][Echo]: 0x1a00020 next next echo $$$w next next echo $$$$w next next echo $$$$$$w [FVWM][Echo]: 0xa00002 next next echo $$$$$$$w [FVWM][Echo]: $w This is what I would have expected: fid = first window id sid = second window id -> = "expands/evaluates to" next echo $w -> 0xfid next next echo $w -> next echo 0xfid -> 0xfid next next echo $$w -> next echo $w -> 0xsid next next echo $$$w -> next echo $0xfid -> 0xfid next next echo $$$$w -> next echo $$w -> $w next next echo $$$$$w -> next echo $$0xfid -> $0xfid next next echo $$$$$$w -> next echo $$$w -> $0xsid next next echo $$$$$$$w -> next echo $$$0xfid -> $0xfid Sigh, the mysteries of parameter expansion.
