I would like to have a link (in a script) open from the left frame into the right frame.

That's pretty easy, just make sure the link has a TARGET= line, like this:
<blockquote>code:<hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;"><A HREF="1.html" TARGET="name of frame">Link</A> </pre><hr /></blockquote>

what do you mean when you say "name of frame" do you mean the local file name like "main.html"

The name of the frame is the name you gave it in the <FRAMESET> tag.
Just a quickie example:
We'll say that this is your home.html, and it has a frameset defined like so:
<blockquote>code:<hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">
<FRAMESET ROWS="3">
<FRAME SRC="1.html" NAME="one" SCROLLING="auto" NORESIZE>
<FRAME SRC="2.html" NAME="two" SCROLLING="no" NORESIZE>
<FRAME SRC="3.html" NAME="three" SCROLLING="no" >
</FRAMESET></pre><hr /></blockquote>The 1.html has the link, and you want to target the middle frame in your link. That's where you'd have this code:
<blockquote>code:<hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">
<A HREF="newpage.html" TARGET="two">Link</A>
</pre><hr /></blockquote>So now the 2.html page is replaced in the middle frame by newpage.html
