I would like to have a navigation menu with prev/next in a top frame

I think this might be possible with javascript:
- get current file name
- go to next prev in the list of 10 files
Here are 4 files in a same directory (cross-frame scripting will need
the same domain anyhow). These should help you - just open index.htm
then.

index.htm

<input type="button" value="Back"
onClick="parent.frames['main'].history.go(-1)">
<input type="button" value="Forward"
onClick="parent.frames['main'].history.go(+1)">
</center>
</form>

I'm not sure what you mean by "go to next prev in the list of 10
files". Actually, you can go back and forward to any file in in your
browser's window as long as it's present.
Example:
<input type="button" value="Go back 5 pages"
onClick="parent.frames['main'].history.go(-5)">
will get you back five pages (that is, if you had already visited 5
pages before invoking the script).
I don't see why you would need the current filename as you wrote.
Anyway, here it is:
<html>
<body>
Your current full file name = <br>
<script language="javascript">
document.write(location.href);
</script>
</body>
</html>
