Either John or Bill (I don't recall) reported that mwm appeared to be
using the value of the SHELL environment variable, instead of /bin/sh
as the documentation claimed.
In the version of the mwm man page I have (dated July 20, 1989), it
says:
"f.exec or !
This function causes command to be executed (using the value
of the $SHELL environment variable if it is set, otherwise /bin/sh).
The ! notation can be used in place of the f.exec function name."
