My QS is in pagemaker... I can create an EPS, which will vector everything,
which is good because the art is vector. Does anyone know if that EPS is
going to do the one thing object thing?
I know Frame natively can't do this and I'm pretty sure Pagemaker can't
natively do it either. But...

I don't think you can do what you want to do. Illustrator can read a
variety of formats, but unless it's reading a vector image file, it
has to convert the bitmapped graphics to individual items. As far as I
know, Frame doesn't output to any vector-based formats. So I think
that you're stuck.
Illustrator is great for the pre-press people, but the bitmap-vector
chasm just can't be crossed easily. I'd advise them to go to
Illustrator completely. That will save them any kind of conversion
woes.
