If a trick existed, it would be browser-specific, but I don't know of any
such commands. In opera, AFTER the page has loaded, right click in the
frame, click frame->open to open that frame only.

If you control the program, then obviously the solution is to change the
program.

If it is only one particular site you're worried about and the cgi form is
not too complicated, you can have a look at the URL of the second frame
(which is almost certainly script-generated as well) and create a plain
html file which submits to the script in wuestion instead of submitting to
the script which outputs the frameset.

Hope one of the methods fits your needs.
