Here's what I use and it works in both IE and NEtscape
Obviously, file names and attributes change. I always call helpWindow. It does
mean two windows are open, but not more than 2. I like having a separate window
open because our users can navigate the help system independent of the
application.
Any questions, email me directly, I don't know how relevant this is to the list
as a whole.
