I could probably help more if you came up with some details. Frames are 
selected with CTRL-click. They can then be moved by dragging or going to 
Graphics > Object Properties and setting numbers in the Top and Left 
fields. Deselect the frame and click back inside it to get a flashing 
text cursor, go to Special > Variable > Current Page #. You got me with 
the blue box. I have no idea what that is.

Moving frames and inserting auto page numbers work pretty much the same 
way in Quark and Indesign.

> i'm just venting, 

Yes, that's my point. You'll get more help if you vent somewhere else.

> know anything about the book mentioned?

No.
