FVWM: Escaping calls to State and Infosostore in piperead

This is more or less a follow up from my earlier question.
I have this
---
Key		Space		A		M		State $[infostore.transi] True
Key		Space		A		C		State $[infostore.transi] False

..
AddToFunc StartFunction
+ I InfostoreAdd  transi 31
....


Then when I switch desk/workspace I  let the window(s) follow me
..
DestroyFunc GoLeft
AddToFunc GoLeft
...
+ I PipeRead "\
	if [ $[page.nx] -gt 0 ]; then\
		echo All '(State 31)' MovetoPage -1p 0p;\
		echo GotoPage -1p 0p;\
	elif [ $[desk.n] -eq 0 ]; then\
...
I would like to replace
                    All '(State 31)'
with
                    All '(State $[infostore.transi] )'
but it makes the GoLeft function  not work


Any suggestions.?

And why I don't use transient windows instead, well I have further
plans to use the state call - which I described shortly in my previous
post.
