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

       Example 1: A sample of the getfrm command.

       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.
