Frame approach

I recently wrestled with frames and have a basic approach to dealing with them.

  1. define the frame at size "1,1", as that means grow to fit
  2. issue a "left db" command
  3. define and arrange all the DBEs that are to be in the frame
  4. draw the frame around those DBEs
    1. Find the DBEs that are at the top/left/bottom/right of the desired frame
    2. put those DBEs and the side "inside" the frame; there will be at least 4 "inside" statements.
  5. place the frame itself

I think this approach is easier than trying to size the frame and then place the DBEs in it.
