There's no reasonable way of doing this, to my knowledge. Framesets
require passing several HTML document from server to client, while CGI
scripts can only return a single document. Maybe someone can correct
me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can define frame contents in-line
in the same document as the frameset.
There might be a very kludgy way around this, by writing a wrapper
script that splits up the htsearch output into several documents, storing
them in temporary files accessible by the server, and then returning a
frameset to the client that refers to these temporary frame content files.
It sounds like this could be a logistical nightmare, though. I wouldn't
recommend it.
