The use of framesets with jhs app urls is a powerful facility. It is easy to
put together a custom one for a particular requirement and I expect power

general use such as the variety of cases in labs.

I think as JHS familiarity grows that we'll see nice new paradigms for
development, debugging, labs, etc.
