A ".frame 0" command usually doesn't do anything, as you are in frame 0
at the start of the movie anyway.
So the first ".frame" command in your syntax above only gives
the first frame a name, but it does not start a new frame. (Otherwise 
the ".put" before the ".frame 0" would have to target, well... frame -1?)

Actually, it is a 4 frame movie. However the last frame is empty (the
"contents" of that frame are everything between ".frame 3" and ".end")
