+
+.SH NAME
+FvwmConsole \- an FVWM command input interface
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+FvwmConsole is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+FvwmConsole allows the user to type fvwm configuration commands
+interactively, and have them executed immediately.  This tool is
+particularly useful for testing new configuration ideas, or for
+implementing temporary changes to your environment.
+
+.SH INVOCATION
+FvwmConsole must be spawned as a module by fvwm.  FvwmConsole takes all
+\fIxterm\fP(1) options, except -name and -title.
+.PP
+FvwmConsole can be invoked by inserting the line 'Module FvwmConsole' in
+the .fvwm2rc file.  This can be placed on a line by itself, if
+FvwmConsole is to be spawned during fvwm's initialization, or can be
+bound to a menu or mouse button or keystroke to invoke it later.  Fvwm
+will search directory specified in the ModulePath configuration option
+to attempt to locate FvwmConsole.
+
+.SH CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
+FvwmConsole uses \fIxterm\fP(1).  All resources set for xterm are
+inherited unless overridden by command line options.
+
+.RS
+Module FvwmConsole -g 40x10 -fg black -bg green3
+.RE
+
+The option -e can be used to choose an alternate front-end:
+
+.RS
+Module FvwmConsole -e /usr/X11/lib/fvwm2/FvwmConsoleC.pl
+.RE
+
+(see \fIFvwmConsoleC.pl\fP(1)).
+.PP
+Also X resources can be set in your ~/.Xdefaults file:
+
+.RS
+FvwmConsole*VT100*geometry: 40x4
+.br
+FvwmConsole*font: 7x14
+.RE
+
+
+.SH "COMMAND EDITING"
+
+There are a few options.  If the GNU readline library is available, it
+can be used.
+.PP
+If Perl5 is installed, FvwmConsoleC.pl can be used as a command editor.
+This can be accomplished by either copying FvwmConsoleC.pl 
+to fvwmlib directory as FvwmConsoleC or
+invoking FvwmConsole with -e option.
+For example:
+
+.RS
+Module FvwmConsole -e /usr/lib/X11/fvwm2/FvwmConsoleC.pl
+.RE
+
+If neither one is installed, a simple input reading function which
+doesn't have editing capabilities is used.
+.P
+GNU readline and FvwmConsoleC.pl have some frequent used commands
+in common as default.
+These commands are similar to emacs. 
+For more details, refer GNU readline man and info pages, and
+FvwmConsoleC.pl man page.

+.SH EXITING
+
+FvwmConsole can be stopped by entering the command "killme" at the command
+line, or the EOF character (usually CTRL-D).
+.PP
+\fBNote!\fP Do not use the "quit" command, as this is an fvwm builtin:
+typing "quit" at the FvwmConsole command line will cause fvwm to exit.
