       getfrm(1F)                                                getfrm(1F)


       NAME
             getfrm - return 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.

       NOTICES
             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.
