Rotating frame

[AlterEgo Qasars]

Good evening,

I'm back to this list (with all my stupid questions).
This is the first of them:

How can I rotate the \framed{...}? Let's suppose I have
a box including a picture (\externalfigure...) and some
text (not in \tf, but let's say in \bfb and \bfd).
Is there any way to rotate it? Maybe rotating 90, 180 and
270 degrees is sufficient for my purpose.

Many thanks.

M.K.
