AHA!!  Thanks, Greg, I had the impression from the help file all I had 
to do was grab the nodes of frame.

I have to say, this feature could be made easier to accomplish.  And, I 
would put the check box for editing the contour line at the top of the 
dialogue, as I had missed it.  The help file could be improved too.

Maybe there's a developer of Scribus who will read the above comment.  <G>
