I hated frames because it complicates pages; and it doesn't allow them to be
searchable (through google).  Javascript is a lot more complicated than frames
and the tree like structure makes it very easy to find routines you are looking
for and more importantly to discover routines you didn't know existed that are
related to the topic you open.

Yay for frames!  You did a good job.  

However, the routine message_box( ) doesn't belong C-interface.  Jeremy and I 
don't think it belongs to any existing category in the docs that's why it hasn't
been moved.  It's nuts to create a new category for one function only.  So,
are there any suggestions from the users out there?
