           FvwmConsole - the FVWM command input interface

## SYNOPSIS

           FvwmConsole is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invoca-
           tion will work.  From within the .fvwm2rc file or  from  a
           menu,  FvwmConsole  takes  any  options  xterm  will take,
           except -e, -name, and -title.

                  Module FvwmConsole -g 40x10 -fg black -bg green3

           Also X resources can be set in .Xdefaults file

## 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 envi-
           ronment.

           GNU readline library is called to edit command line.  Also
           a  perl  script is supplied as alternative command editor.
           Its commands are similar to emacs.

                  Cntl-A  - begining of line
                  Cntl-B  - previous char
                  Cntl-D  - delete char
                  Cntl-E  - end of line
                  Cntl-F  - next char
                  Cntl-H  - backspace
                  Cntl-K  - erase to the end of line
                  Cntl-N  - next line
                  Cntl-P  - previous line
                  Cntl-R  - search reverse
                  Cntl-U  - delete line
                  Meta-B  - previous word
                  Meta-F  - next word
                  Esc <   - begining of history
                  Esc >   - end of history

           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.
