using frames

   Generally speaking, I too hate frames.
   I think if you are going to use frames, they should be at a termination
point. I don't know how else to describe what I mean but to say it that
way.
   You should never never never use frames in such a way that the material
in the right frame links to something else because once you begin to chase
those additional links weird things happen and using the BACK command
becomes very difficult.
   I can see using frames to display pictures, where you have a list of
names of pictures in the left column and the pictures themselves appear on
the right. Or perhaps to give shorts descriptions of something.
   Beyond that, lies chaos.
