Try something like this:

DestroyFunc "RunExec"
AddToFunc "RunExec" \
  "I" Exec exec $0 $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9


DestroyMenu "Applications"
AddToMenu "Applications" \
  "I" "Netscape" RunExec "netscape -install -display $HOSTDISPLAY"
+ "I" "xbiff" RunExec "xbiff -display $HOSTDISPLAY"
+ "I" "YadaYada" RunExec yada yada yada
