I personally use the noframes tag, and add a little explanatory text, along
with advice. You can see an example in the source of
http://www.the-isg.co.uk/practical-airsoft/index.html. This includes a link
to the contents listing page, which them goes on to advice the use of the
'back' button. Simple, yes. Easy, probably not, but it saves on server
space, and at least provides a non-frames usage capability.

Just my five pence worth!
