Build a single HTML document with your multiple TOCs at the bottom,
seperated by <pre>{about 100 blank lines for paranoia's sake}</pre> and
put named anchors at the top of each TOC/section. You can access the
sub-TOCs/sections with named anchor HREFs from the frame. This greatly
simplifies the problem and allows you to chunk up a single document into
the frames. As I have said before, this seems also to be a situation where
multiple named <HTML> sections would be the perfect solutions.

A bit of a kludge? Yes. But it will work with Netscape frames and is not
real complex.
