getfrm(1F)

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  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.
