In the last few weeks I have just started using the rtingres application
generator abf.  On several occassions I have experienced the following
problem:

I have recently created a new application and it contains a few frames. 
When I select go from the application definition window.  An executable
image is built, with no obvious problems, and then I am prompted for the
name of a frame to run.  I enter the name of one of my frames, and I am
told that it is undefined! This happens for all of the frames in the
application. 

If I play around a little (deleting the first frame created in the
application, then quitting from abf, going back into abf, then trying go
from the application definition frame again) I can usually get go to
find my frames.  As yet I haven't worked out any pattern as to when go
in the application definiton menu is able to find frames, and when it
isn't.  

We are running RTI INGRES V5.0/01 (sun.u42/05), on a small network of
Sun 3s running SunOS 4.0.1.  INGRES/NET is used to access the database
form the diskless clients.  The above problem occurs on the server and
on the clients.

Any help greatly apreciated.

Thanks, Paul Ashton.
