> I wonder then if there's a better way to offer this feature. The two
> possible choices (other suggestions welcome) are:
>
> 1. Create a new command 'create-frame' that takes one or two
> arguments, and always creates and selects a new frame new frame.
> The frame command no longer creates new frames.
>
> 2. Make 'frame' take an (optional) flag (like 'x', or
> 'disassemble'), so a user can now say:
> frame /c STACK-ADDR PC-ADDR
> in order to create (and select) a new frame. Without the /c flag
> no new frames are created. With the flag only new frames are
> created, old frames are not selected.
You could also ask the user for confirmation, when the command is
going to create a new frame.
