Not quite. If those frames are threaded, delete will move the contents of the text to the next frame.

Duplicate does what you want, but to be on the safe side you should do this (assuming myFrame is a reference to the frame):

tell myFrame
 duplicate
end tell
try
 delete characters 1 through -1 of myFrame
end try
delete myFrame

The try is there to deal with the case where the frame is empty.
