Just so you all know, I have a new module here called FvwmConsole
(written by Toshi Isogai) which is basically a replacement for
FvwmTalk (taking care of some of the FvwmTalk related things on the
TO-DO list as well).

It's got editing and history capabilities, and runs under an XTerm.

I'm still playing with it and plan to put it in the next release.
So I don't know if you want to bother working on FvwmTalk.
