buttons wont work

[suptimal]

i tried the example from the man page:

echo '%{A:reboot:} Click here to reboot %{A}'| bar -p

but the bar only echoes reboot.

That's how bar is designed to function. "bar | sh" is a simple way to execute the output of bar

My personal use is in the format shown below which allows me to configure shorthand commands like "C mpd" to toggle my conky popup for mpd

bar | \
while read -r line ; do
    case $line in
        #Cases for output from bar
    esac
done

shame on me, Thx.
