The latter is the grammatically correct way.  A parameter name in
italics, such as "@var{frame}", acts as a _name_ that refers to the
actual value of the argument.  Just as we would write

  Send it to my assistant, Jeanne.

we should write,

  delete the frame, @var{f}.

or

  delete the frame, @var{frame}.
