Frame Type
----------

   A "frame" is a rectangle on the screen that contains one or more
Emacs windows.  A frame initially contains a single main window (plus
perhaps a minibuffer window) which you can subdivide vertically or
horizontally into smaller windows.

   Frames have no read syntax.  They print in hash notation, giving the
frame's title, plus its address in core (useful to identify the frame
uniquely).

     (selected-frame)
          => #<frame emacs@psilocin.gnu.org 0xdac80>

   Note: Frames, for a description of the functions that work on
frames.
