Par2: Updating variable in app frame

The easiest way to handle this would be to create a global reference
to the frame, such as...
gFrameRef   &WINDOW

Just after OPEN(AppFrame) add...
  gFrameRef &= AppFrame

Then whenever and wherever you need to make changes to the frame you
use properties, such as...
  gFrameRef{PROP:Text} = 'Yada Yada'
  gFraneRef{PROP:Status,x} = 'Yada Yada'

No events necessary.
