Your original message was about the native support of arithmetics (does this include scripting and string manipulation or just 2+2?). Can you define what would be the desired (and still not conflicting) syntax for you? I think that if you insist on using only what you know (i.e. bash), there is no point to suggest you something else. :) Then just stick to PipeRead and fvwm+shell escaping, it works ok. By the way, most of the sh-like shells support $(( 1 > 2 ? 3 : 2 + 2 )). Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
