Jon:  You could probably do something in JavaScript for that, but
you'd have to refer to someone who actually knows (or likes) JS for
specifics.

Personally, I rather dislike web sites that insist on opening up new
browser windows.  The choice should be left up to the person viewing
the site, IMHO.  (Most browsers already give you the choice
anyways.) If you need to display information in two panes
simultaneously, there are better design methods than putting up two
windows.  For example, you could use frames (if you're desparate),
but there are still even better methods, some involving CSS.
