Used to  draw  a  frame  specifically for text input. The
frame  content  is  always  empty  when  drawn. To  enter
text  within frame you will have to use the  Calamus text 
editor or import command. See the "Text" module  which is
listed in CalAssistant main menu.

All frames  are  drawn using the  "Draw up a  frame" icon
function from the same menu box.

Select this icon function. If the "Draw up a  frame" icon
function is not  yet selected, do so by clicking over it.

left mouse button to  attach.  Outline the  size   of the 
frame  using  the   elastic  box.  Finally,  click  mouse 
button to place frame on page. You can cancel frame while 
in elastic  drawing mode  by  clicking  the  right  mouse 
button.
