I agree that the Frank is not an obvious menu. However, I don't think we should change the interface more than necessary. I suggest leaving the Frank where it is, with a translucent rectangular background containing a little triangle in a circle to the right of the "Jmol". The background will make it look something like a button/menu bar and the circle with a triangle is getting to be a pretty common indicator that you will get a pop-up or pull-down menu.
