Lin,

>From the Frame help file:

"A thin space is one-twelfth the width of an em space. A thin space is
often used when a very small space is needed to separate two
characters?for example, between a number and the unit of measure that
follows it, or between characters that appear too close together?for
example, /)."

I use Frame's thin spaces to separate numbers from units of measure, as
in "12V" battery.
