Command Buffer (unless it lived in a different place back in 2.3.2),
or alternatively using the shortcut Alt + x (unless that gets mapped

I can recall).
Thanks-- I am getting a great tour of some useful features of Lyx
that I never explored. With Paul's help, I found the command buffer,
and typed /Insert > Separated Frame Below/, but it did nothing. I
must be very motivated, since I did the unthinkable, and (re)read the
Lyx/Beamer manual (V. 2.3). It makes repeated infuriating references
to the missing Insert Frame Separator, etc. It also mentioned some
keyboard shortcuts that do not work, as tips for an easier way of
accomplishing this (apparently heroic) task of inserting an
end-of-frame.
Square One is my home now...

Ehud,
Insert > ... is a menu selection, not something to type in the command
buffer.
With the cursor at the end of the content of a frame, type 'call
newframe' (without the quotes) in the buffer and hit enter.

Who said persistence cannot make up for stupidity and ignorance? I
finally found what was my problem, and-- even better-- I solved it. My
mistake was that I was trying to insert an end-of-frame NOT in the
standard environment, but while the cursor was in some graphics
environment (I think). Once I managed to get the cursor into a
non-magical environment, the missing commands appeared in the Insert
menu, and all is well. I guess Lyx tries hard to help the user by hiding
from her the commands that cannot work in the current environment. That
is a sensible thing to do, but when you are as ignorant as I was (until
now) it can get very confusing and frustrating.
In addition, although I cannot upgrade to V. 2.3.6, the "missing"
commands exist in 2.3.2.
Thanks for the speedy and helpful advice-- it is much appreciated.
