Woopse? sorry Listers. embarrassed, again! I've just checked in the .jff 
frameFile itself, and staring me right in the face was the parameter 
RealWindowLeft, top, right and bottom, so I guess, strangely enough, ahem, 
it must be the RealWindow that frames are Relative to maybe?
hmmmm. Although, interestingly enough,
every single frame I can see, seems to have set these to a very static 
value, across all frames.
i.e.
RealWindowLeft=0,
RealWindowTop=0,
RealWindowRight=1028, and
RealWindowBottom=744.

now from memory, these were done on a screen Res of 1024 by 768!
But to me, this just doesn't make a whole lot of sense!
to me, make any sense! how could RealWindowRight possibly have a value of 
1028, under such circs?

anyone got any clues as to that one?

I notice too, that there's another parameter in each frame set as well, 
called RelativeTo.
and it seems to equal a static value of 0 in every frame I check as well.

And I don't believe this is the parameter that determines whether the frame 
corners are set relative to a window, or to Absolute screen positioning.
because My belief was, that this was handled by yet another parameter in 
here, called WindowBased=. 1 for relative window, and 0 when absolute.

thoughts anyone?
