I see several ways to do this. You may create a script that runs all
netscapes, so it is easier to test this from a command line before you
add try to do it from a menu.
1) Start 6 netscape processes and specify -geometry on the command line.
Choose sizes/positions accourding to your screen size to fit exactly.
2) Start 6 netscape processes and then (after 6 pairs of Exec+Wait)
run "FvwmRearrange -tile" (play with its options to do what you want).
To run more than one netscape, use these parameters:
netscape -remote 'openURL(
http://fvwm.org/, new-window)'
It is probably possible to solve your task without running 6 netscapes,
but you didn't say what is your task (probably out of topic here).
Anyway, you may create one local html page with <frame> tag that includes
any layout you want, for example 6 frames showing 6 different locations
arranged in a grid of 2 rows and 3 columns.

Mikhael.
