NAME
FvwmConsole - the FVWM command input interface
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The FvwmConsole allows the user to type fvwm commands into xterm, and
have them executed immediately. These commands are usually specfified
in the .fvwmrc file, or are bound to menu/mouse items as specified
in that file. This tools is particularly useful for testing new
configuration ideas, or for implementing temporary changes to your
environment.

Also a perl script is supplied as alternative command editor. Its
commands are similar to emacs.

INVOCATION
FvwmConsole can be invoked by inserting the line 'Module FvwmConsole' in
the .fvwmrc file. This can be placed on a line by itself, if FvwmConsole
is to be spawned during fvwm's initialization, or can be bound to a
menu or mouse button or keystroke to invoke it later. Fvwm will search
directory specified in the ModulePath configuration option to attempt
to locate FvwmConsole.
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
FvwmConsole uses xterm. All resources set for xterm are inherited
unless overiden by command line options.
