Try using your right mouse button. This enables you to move back and
forward in frames, and I believe also allows you to add frame-specific
bookmarks.

On this related topic, there's something that's really frustrating me as
more and more sites have got into frames and other fancy doo-dads, and I
wonder if anyone out there has found a solution. It's happening with
increasing frequency that I burrow down through a site on the main "frame"
and get to a point that I want to bookmark. I gnash my teeth when I realize
that my old "Add Bookmark" routine (I'm using Netscape 3.0) has only
registered the URL of the home page, so that when I return to the bookmark
later, I have to burrow down again -- sometimes forgetting how I found my
way the first time to the page of interest. This has also happened to me
when I've used the search engine on a site to find the information I'm
looking for. What's the point in using a search engine to find what you
want, if you have no way of referring back to it later?

Has anybody found a way around this problem that I'm missing?
