the interpreter encounters an object statement, it assumes the object is in the current graphic frame or page.
When you open a MIF file as a FrameMaker document, the default current page is page 1, and the default current
frame is the page frame for page 1. A page frame is an invisible frame that "contains" objects or graphic frames placed
directly on a page. The page frame is not described by any MIF statement. When you import a MIF file into an
existing FrameMaker document, the default current page is the first page visible when the Import command is
invoked; the current frame is the currently selected frame on that page. If there is no currently selected frame, the
current frame is the page frame for that page.
Generic object statements
All object descriptions consist of the object type, generic object statements containing information that is common
to all objects, and statements containing information that is specific to that type of object. This section describes the
generic object statements.
