[Framers] FrameMaker 7.2 Not Responding on New PC

FrameMaker 7.2 was released in 2005. There's no reason to upgrade
something that works, and no reason to spend time and money on
upgrades to deal with Microsoft compatibility bugs you can solve for
free.

Switching from 7.2 to 13 (2015) could be a lot of work due to the
switch to Unicode in version 8. Plus there's the learning curve
introduced by the weird UI layered on in version 9. If you use
keyboard shortcuts instead of the mouse, the switch could be
particularly painful.
