We actually do something like this on our current site and I'm dealing with
a similar issue in my re-development of the site in fusebox.
The way we've decided to do it is have seperate switch statements in the
index.cfm in question. We use tables as our method of layout and have a
global layout. Each fuseaction case sets the variables in the different
panes of the table with the appropriate file. Its similar to frames I
suppose, but different since its actually tables.
So in the fuse that we intend to "share" with other companies (actually its
our forum) we set up a sperate switch statement in the index for that
company. Its pretty easy actually, just cut at paste the previous switch
statement and change the table components that deal with the wrapper
accordingly.
Hm, this sounds more confusing than I had intended, feel free to contact me
off-list for more info russ.

hehe ... yeah, but that would be the easy way out.
I'm saving that as a last resort.
I'm more interested finding how how this is done without using frames, as
I've been stumped on this for some time. I feel that if I can get past this,
I'll be a better programmer for it.
There's a crucial piece of complexity here that I just don't understand.
