This is not the problem here. The syntax here would be $[desk.name$$d] or better yet (in 2.5.6+) $[desk.name$[desk.n]], note a single dollar is enough here. The problem is that nothing inside $[] is expanded, i.e. you can't nest variables. You hovewer may do currently the following: # be careful about shell escaping, there are extreme conditions DestroyFunc ExpandAndRun AddToFunc ExpandAndRun + I PipeRead `echo '$*'` DestroyFunc DynMenu AddToFunc DynMenu + I ExpandAndRun Popup Menu$$$$[desk.name$[desk.n]] The plus command converts $$ to $, so ExpandAndRun and shell actually get only 2 dollars and $[desk.n] is already expanded. Then PipeRead expands the resulting $[desk.name3]. =--= This is not the first message about nesting variables, so one option is to introduce a new command (or prefix if you like) Expand for this. DestroyFunc DynMenu AddToFunc DynMenu + I Expand Popup Menu$$$$[desk.name$[desk.n]] Another option is to fix the expanding, so the inner $[] is expanded, in this case only 2 dollars will be needed. And the third option is to implement nested variable expansion, in this case one dollar will work and no additional commands will be needed. I will do the second option and then either the first or the third. Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
