Thankyou for the concept. I've tried it and it works. It still 
doesn't solve my problem. I think my problem is that I'm trying to 
use Frames as a virtual disk drive. The difference is that frame 
content has to become part of the window hierarchy before it's 
readable by the other frames (even though the information may be 
readable to the user). Some sort of user involvement is required to 
make the new file's variables readable to the other windows.
