Thanks, Carl. I needed the fuller explanation, which I snipped to save
bandwidth.
My eyes had always glazed over at the term "frame," but your description of
it as a "functional unit" helps. So a "frame" could be either an
instruction or a message, just as files can be. I guess they are like subfiles.
