FVWM: Compound commands with FvwmButtons

I've read the man pages and examined the sample file but I can't seem
to make this work:

I'd like to do two things upon button press: switch to another page
and then do an exec of gnudoit. I figured I'd use Action under options
and then the regular stuff. The config line looks like this:

*FvwmButtons(Action "GoToPage 1 0") Get_Mail mail.xbm exec gnudoit \
"(vm-get-new-mail)"

The gnudoit happens, but the GoToPage does not. Would someone mind
explaining Actions and how to do more than one thing with a button
push.

Thanks in advance,
