   I have a problem with the titlebuttons in tvtwm. In the file .tvtwmrc
   I wrote :

     RightTitleButton "pixmap.filename" =! "echo 'dfgdfg'"

   but it did not work exactly as it should. I got the button in the
   title, but nothing was echo'ed in the window.

   The question is: how can I make the TitleButton echo a string in the
		    window.

You can't.  !"echo 'blob'" is going to fork a shell and execute the thing
in double quotes.  Your echo will most likely go to wherever you started
(tv)twm.
