Its not the quoting that I was trying to convey.
I didn't see in your problem report where you used the word
"Module". You can't just issue the command:

FvwmForm MyQuitVerify

you have to use the command

Module FvwmForm MyQuitVerify

If I'm being dumb, and I missed it, let us know. Eventually one of us
WILL get to the bottom of this.
