**  If you have a version-4-or-above browser, you should be able to get the
frame (page) you're currently on, shown separately from the other frames
(and its own URL shown in the address window), this way :-

 - right-click on the frame you want to look at, then pick "Open frame in
new window" (at the top). At least, that's what you do with Netscape 4.08.


**  I frequently want to look at the HTML source code (to get the actual
link address), in which case:

(1) normal-click on a text or blank part of the frame you want to look at
(if you haven't touched anything since it appeared, you'll just get the
initial - usually top - frame, in step 2) ;

(2) -View-  -Document Source- .


**  I normally use an old Netscape 3.04 (to avoid netscape crashes and at
least some of the extra "facilities" the newer ones {esp. microsoft's IE}
seem to have, like possibly sending back info I'm unaware-of to the
webpage's server), but it also doesn't have that "right-click" facility
described further above. In this case I have to go back to the previous
page then build up the whole URL from what I can find by using "View
Source"(-code) as described just above.
