The work around I've been using is two steps.  First of all click on some
non-active region of the frame whose source you want to view.  Then go to the 
file menu and choose New Web Browser.  On my system NS2.0/Win95 that opens up 
a new browser with the HTML for the current frame only.  Then you can view 
source in the new browser window.
