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  expres-
     sion  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.
