An observation: Frame Wizardry

[Klaus Daube]

Dear all,

Recently i have discovered, that _opening_ a very rudimentary MIF 
file, such as the one hereafter, FM magically creates a nearly full 
document environment - only a text frame on the body page is missing. 

The open document displays a full set of catalogues, masterpage Right 
and even a Reference page with the 'standard' elements. 

Where does FM take these defintions from?
