Sounds a bit dramatic. Have you no respect for preserving a
species? (I know... in this church... it's the html/css soul of
folk that need saving...)

To the OP: I take it that you have 3 frames on the index page
and you want to link to a page that has 2 frames. So link to it
by making it like your index page (except that it will have a
frameset with 2 frames and be called something else, like
"pageTwo.html". (With, so to speak, "the" same 2 of the 3 frames
named in the index page frameset. They will have the same
horizontal dimensions etc as the two on the index page).

Post a url if you want further.

And in your travels, read up on how to minimise the evil that is
inherent in frames. I don't think anyone has written anything on
how to maximize it... mmm... there's a research project...
