GetFramePos?

Hi!
I'm wondering if there is someway I can get the position of a frame.
What I'm trying for is a smooth transport that will increase its speed to the distance between it and its next frame. Is there someway I can test the frame's pos, or will I have to write them down in the symbols?

Dunno if it'll work, but on startup you might be able to do something like this

Code:

startup:
   MoveToFrame(ship, anotherFrame, 1000);
   WaitForStop(ship);
   posOfFrame = GetThingPos(ship);
   MoveToFrame(ship, firstFrame, 1000);
return;

PosOfFrame would be a local vector in this case, btw.

May the mass times acceleration be with you.
