<head>
  <title></title>
</head>
<frameset rows="5%,*" border="0">
    <frame name="maintop" src="maintop.shtml" marginwidth="10" marginheight="10" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0">
    <frame name="main" src="main.shtml" marginwidth="10" marginheight="10" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0">
</frameset>
My Maintop page is:
<html>

<head>
  <title></title>
</head>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function goHist(a)
{
   history.go(a); // Go back one.
}
</script>
<center><FORM METHOD="post">
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE=" BACK " onClick="goHist(-1)">
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="FORWARD" onClick="goHist(1)">

Add this to your top page:

<input type='button' value='Close' onclick='parent.window.close()'/>
