Here's what I use:

} Key F2 A C NetscapeFunction
} ...
} DestroyFunc Goto
} AddToFunc Goto \
} "I" Iconify -1
} + "I" WindowShade 2
} + "I" Focus
} + "I" WarpToWindow 50 50
}
} DestroyFunc NetscapeFunction
} AddToFunc NetscapeFunction \
} "I" Next [Navigator] Goto
} + "I" None [Navigator] GotoPage 0 1
} + "I" None [Navigator] Exec netscape -install -geometry =624x800-120+86


It works as you describe. However, I have trouble getting 'Next' to
work with FvwmButtons - the following doesn't work as I expect. I
get additional instances of FvwmButtons each time the function gets
executed. Fvwm doesn't produce any error messages while defining or
executing the function. Any ideas why this doesn't work?

} Key F4 A C ButtonFunc
} ...
} DestroyFunc ButtonFunc
} AddToFunc ButtonFunc \
} "I" Next [FvwmButtons] Iconify
} + "I" None [FvwmButtons] Module FvwmButtons
