Danny,

     As many people will tell you this mailing list is for Fvwm2, not
fvwm95. I assume that you are using a RedHat dist. with fvwm95 on it. If
that is the case I might be able to help, just read on.

If the directory structure is the same on a freebsd system as on an x86
system then you should be able to modify both by simply looking at the
files in

/etc/X11/wmconfig

If you peruse a couple of these files you will find that they contain the
name of the executeable, the menu in which they are listed and the name of
icons, etc. Adding a file to this directory which conforms to the style
or syntax as displayed in the other files will show up in your menus. If
you do not have root permision to write in this directory and your
sys-admin. is not willing to help, then your stuck modifying some of the
scripts used in the AnoterLevel package.
