I'll try but I was happy to install the FreeBSD port/package to avoid
compilation issues.

Yes, I saw that but didn't find a way to automatically create the text
frames on every page, which is why I turned to templates. But from your
response I take it templates are meant to be used for 'background'
styles?

Aha! OK so I was going off the wrong angle -- I have used FrameMaker a few
times in the past and it was done using 'master pages' there.

Where do I find this option to create automatic text frames, or is
that only implemented in CVS?
