Is it possible to arrange that framed paragraph (\startframedtext)
extends to multiple pages, like this:
	------
	|    |
        ====== page break
	|    |
	|    |
	====== page break
	|    |
	------

- and | denote the frame.

You should use the \starttabellen command for this (it's somewhere in the
Docs). That way you can also add header ands footers, which are repeated on
the following pages. I guess that the english command is \starttables (not
sure, sorry look it up in cont-com.tex). There is also some docu in
core-tab.tex.
