This turned out to be a case of Read The Manual. The Newton Programmer's Guide cautions the alert reader to use view:ChildViewFrames.

"If you just reference the ViewChildren or StepChildren slots in a View, you will get references to the child template, not the views." (p. 2-46)

Laurent, thanks for your stab at helping me.
