[thelist] frames without <frames>

[Simon Hibbard]

http://www.15seconds.com/issue/010220.htm discusses server.Execute.
Although seems only useful to actually execute other scripts, don't
know what it would do with a *.doc/html

perhaps i should just use frames :(

surely this sort of dynamic content without frames is used all the
time?
