hmm, ok, I tryed that, the problem with that approach is
that I'm killing usability...

a user would have to press back, back, back
[seeing all transactions entered] to return
to the main menu...

anyway, is not that the frames are a problem, is just that
the bottom frame sit there all the time taking space,
while is not being used much...

you didn't like my patch ? :(
(I can try another approach if you want)
