Hi Wolfgang,

to be honest one of my design considerations was to this work using MetaPost.
But, my knowledge of MetaPost is minimal and it would be involved calculating 
the positions
of the Frames/boxes and I need to know the sizes of the formatted text, etc

Another approach would be to use layer, but I can not find much documentation 
about how/if
they can be used inside of a frame.

regards
        Keith
