   I'm not entirely sure about my terminology.  I used 'frame' because I 
   read that in the wiki -- but I am getting the feeling that it implies 
   something with split screen etc... I don't use any of that stuff, I just 
   have many fullscreen windows open and each of them have a number.  I am 
   SANS RATPOISON here at work but the suggestion given did exactly what I 
   wanted it to in screen, so I am assuming it will work there.


Here's the Wiki's descrption of frames:  http://ratpoison.elektrubadur.se/frames
