FrameMaker does not have a non-breaking slash. The best you can 
do is to remove it from the list of characters where FrameMaker will
break a line. Go to Format>Document>Text Options and delete the
slash from its default position at the beginning of the list in the
"Allow Line Breaks After" box. (The other "break" characters that
are specified by default are the hyphen, the en-dash and the 
em-dash.)  Note that this setting is on a *per-file* basis, and 
that it is dangerous to try to import it from one file into others 
because it is lumped together with a bunch of unrelated items in
the "Document Properties" group in the Import Formats dialog.
