FVWM: Functions ..

Using fvwm2, I'm trying to make a function that I can combine with the
fvwm buttons; however, when I attempt to start the function, my X server
locks up and I have to kill it.

I'd like to get my function to startup two things when the fvwm button is
pressed. I've used the AddToFunc call without any real success .. Below,
I've posted what I am trying to do, but I was brief on the command options
used with xterm because I wanted to keep it readable.

## declare the function
AddToFunc Name "I" Exec rsh -l user localhost "exec /usr/bin/X11/xterm"
+ "I" Exec rsh -l user localhost "exec /usr/bin/X11/xterm"

##call it with the buttons
*FvwmButtons Name none Function Name

Does anyone see what I am doing wrong and/or how I can fix it? Thanks.
