"I've found that frames is one of the more difficult things for people
new to FW to wrap their heads around. Here's how I describe it: use
layers to organize your UI *structurally*; use frames to organize
your UI in *time*."
If you're interested in achieving this concept in Photoshop (CS2), you can
use the animation palette to create collections of visible layers, and then
step through the frames for presentation. (if I'm understanding the concept
correctly)

But will it auto-page each frame into its own page when you print into a
PDF?

Is Fireworks a safe bet?
In other words, given that Adobe purchased Macromedia, is it likely
or unlikely that Fireworks is here to stay?

Using Photoshop CS's amazing "Layer Sets" feature, you can auto-print dozens
of snapshots of your PSD document, with different layers turned on and off
and repositioned in each one.
Not that I recommend Photoshop *at all* for wireframing. I can barely
recommend it for comping pages, although I use it reluctantly still.
