Eureka - a calculator! It's working - thank you - very happy now!

btw

if FVWM looks at the .fvwm2rc file to get the ModulePath info,
do you know the correct format to edit it, to prevent these errors?

[FVWM][executeModule]: <<ERROR>> No such module 'FvwmButtons' in 
ModulePath '/usr/pkg/lib/X11/fvwm2/2.2.2'

[FVWM][executeModule]: <<ERROR>> No such module 'FvwmPager' in 
ModulePath '/usr/pkg/lib/X11/fvwm2/2.2.2'

I haven't made a /usr/pkg directory on my system - the legacy
of a less than perfect installation procedure has made the fvwm
man pages unavailable...thinking of starting over from scratch,
and doing everything right this time! it's amazing that anything
has worked at all really :)
