Well, you don't put the word, "hangon" in the Exec command...

I don't believe you can do what you are trying.

Based on the man page, "hangon" works in 3 different contexts,
Swallow, Panel, and Exec. But thats "Exec" when interpreted by
FvwmButtons, not within a function started by FvwmButtons.

I suppose you could start Netscape as a slide out panel,
that would be:

*FvwmButtons (Panel (up) Netscape ToggleNetscape)

WARNING, none of this is tested, and I'm not much of an
FvwmButtons expert.
