advance for your time and consideration.

Sure (and in this case I'm assuming you mean the modern art frame, but it 
works for others).  Add the frame to your image, and it is added as a 
layer named Picture Frame above the image layer.  With the picture frame 
image selected, go to Adjust>Hue Saturation>Hue/Saturation/Lightness.  
Move the Hue slider around until you find a color you like.  You can 
preview the changes on the image if you have the Preview buttons pressed 
in on the dialogue.

P.S. Yes, Modern Art was the name. Also, I'd like to use this frame
for all of my pictures. Is there a way of storing the desired color
frame to use in the future?

You can open picture frames, tubes and other image resources directly 
into PSP just like any other image.  File>Open and browse to the Picture 
Frames folder in the Jasc Software Inc>Paint Shop Pro folder.  Open the 
frame you want, change the color as I suggested before, then File>Export>
Picture Frame and give the frame another name so that you don't overwrite 
the existing one.  You can make all the colors you like.

JoeB- you are so freakin awesome! Thanks for taking the time to show
me the ropes. I did it! I can't believe I did it! I'm going to start
lurking here so maybe I can figure out how to use this program.
Graphics have always been a big stumbling block for me. Thanks again.
Your time and consideration is greatly appreciated.

You're welcome.  But you should be lurking in the Corel Paint Shop Pro 
groups if you want to get lots of info about using Paint Shop Pro.  While 
you use v.8 you'll likely find it helpful to also subscribe to, and read, 
the v.9 and v.X group because many of the tools (particularly in v.9) 
work the same in 8 and 9, and in v.X the main difference is that many of 
the tools have been automated - i.e., made into one-click things.  Here's 
a list of the Corel PSP groups that might be of interest:
