-A frame is a window whose size and position can (usually) be changed by the user. It usually has
-thick borders and a title bar, and can optionally contain a menu bar, toolbar and
-status bar. A frame can contain any window that is not a frame or dialog.

-See also \helpref{window styles overview}{windowstyles}. Currently the GTK port of wxWindows
-ignores all the window styles listed above as there is no standard way (yet) to inform the
-window manager about such options. Therefore, the only relevant window style flag which
-the GTK port recognizes is \windowstyle{wxSIMPLE\_BORDER} which brings up a frame without
-any window decorations. This can be used for a splash screen or specialized tooltip etc.

-\wxheading{Return value}
-
-TRUE if the operation was successful, FALSE otherwise.
-
-\wxheading{Remarks}
-
-Accelerator tables map keystrokes onto control and menu identifiers, so the
-programmer does not have to explicitly program this correspondence.
-
-See the hello demo ({\tt hello.cpp} and {\tt hello.rc}) for

-menus_accel ACCELERATORS
-{
-
-"^L", HELLO_LOAD_FILE
