Thanks for the response, Robin.  Saw your reference to KeepInFrame in 
another thread while researching this... but I guess I didn't make my 
problem statement clear enough, as it is supposed to be different.

What I'm looking for is something that will take a block of flowables 
(like KeepTogether does) and force a frame break if they would break 
across a page boundary, but not force a frame break if they would only 
cross a frame boundary within a page.

And actually, the frosting on top would be if it only forced a frame 
break if it crossed the boundary from an odd page to an even page (the 
page turn boundary).
