John,

Let's start this conversation up. I'm a heavy Frame programmer and I have yet to discover an undocumented method. It is not always easy to trace the origins of all methods linked to an object. But if you follow the objects inheritance path back to the OBJECT class, you should find every method documented.

I spoke with Ivy at SAS Institute for some time on this subject and she tells me they have a huge hierarchy chart somewhere that provides a breakdown each Frame object and all of it's inherited methods. I wish I could get my hands on a copy.
