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.
