OK, that explains it.

Yes in PROCEDURE Edit*,  also CONST OpenCmd = "Edit.Open";
 is what makes MM+MR open an "Edit.Open" frame type.

And for Script.Open types, the coding is very similar except that:
   CONST OpenCmd = "Script.Open".

But ET.Mod has many calls to TextFrames.Handle(p1,p2).
So it is seen that ET would be expected to spawn Edit.Open frame types
from MM+MR.    

It could be a big job to change it ?
