Murray:
You are correct. The java script exists. But I found another way: the
internet shortcut (url) specifies the whole frameset. I have a link pointing
to the shortcut, and iexplorer then prompts "save or open." If I open, the
correct frameset opens. Alternatively, I can save the shortcut to my desktop
and double click it.
It would be nice if there were some syntax specifying the frame *and*
subpages in the hyperlink itself, so I would not have to point to the
tedious url.
Thanks,
Clem.
