Each axiom variable has a type. If (like Martin suggests) you get all 
the operations using

   )what operations

then you could use

   )display operations zero?

(where "zero?" is just an example)
to figure out the type of (possibly several) zero? functions.
Now you have to parse the output to match the type of X with one of the 
functions. :-(  I am sure somebody can provide you with a better suggestion.

Or you just name your own frame and let Axiom show that frame name

)frame new MyFancyFrameName
)set message prompt frame

Would you like

)frame new Axiom
)set message prompt verbose

???
