Hi Marty,

The "frame" you see below the tabs is a standard way
of visually grouping the area where items will
appear/disappear when you switch tabs. 

For instance, the Preferences dialog box of many
applications will have a few items that appear
regardless of the chosen tab -- such as 'OK' and
'Cancel' buttons which pertain to the dialog box as a
whole instead of merely acting on the settings in the
visible tab.

Or did I misinterpret your question?

Jan Schenkel.
