   NAME
         getfrm - returns the current frameID number

   SYNOPSIS
         getfrm

   DESCRIPTION
         getfrm returns the current frameID number.  The frameID number is a
         number assigned to the frame by FMLI and displayed flush left in the
         frame's title bar.  If a frame is closed its frameID number may be
         reused when a new frame is opened.  getfrm takes no arguments.

   EXAMPLES
         If a menu whose frameID is 3 defines an item to have this action
         descriptor:

               action=open text stdtext `getfrm`

         the text frame defined in the definition file stdtext would be passed
         the argument 3 when it is opened.

   NOTES
         It is not a good idea to use getfrm in a backquoted expression coded
         on a line by itself.  Stand-alone backquoted expressions are
         evaluated before any descriptors are parsed, thus the frame is not
         yet fully current, and may not have been assigned a frameID number.
