How about www.microsoft.com which has dropdown menus from the
banner at the top of the page. Or do what www.netflix.com and
www.teletrade.com do put the actual choices in the top banner - although
with 18 different menu choices, I probably have too many and would
need to rethink my site layout.

bug was in the quick and dirty program I threw together to support #include
in HTML files.

True, the anti-frames folks are more apt to grumble about the frames
than locate and click the "non-frames" button.
