If this item is Objects, the assignment is made to the frame object
specified by the Name item.
If this item is Group, the assignment is made to all frame objects
in the group specified by the Name item.
If this item is SelectedObjects, assignment is made to all selected
frame objects, and the Name item is ignored.
Return Value
Returns zero if the assignment is successful;
otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
