It probabaly shouldn't be pushed too far away.  There are senile old
geezers such as myself who have a hard time remembering to zip up,
much less what frame they were at, who need to be occasionally
reminded where they are, even if they don't want to move.  Although
everything's configurable, so I suppose it doesn't matter that much.

Hmm.  Do people use more than nine frames often?  If so, perhaps "a"
could be typed in to go to frame 10, etc.  Frames are great, but I
never use more than 3 or 4, myself.
