window - a javascript object referring to a window or frame being
displayed by the browser.
To open a new browser window, the crude method is:
<a target="_blank" href="AcqDefs.htm">Same again</a>
Same again
or for more control over the window
(see Rob Schluter FAQ):
<a href="javascript:NewWindow( 'AcqDefs.htm', 'SameAgain', 'toolbar,scrollbars,width=300' )">Same again</a>
<SCRIPT>
function NewWindow( url, name, features ){
var XWin = window.open( url, name, features );
}
</SCRIPT>
Same again
name must not have embedded spaces etc. If a window with this name exists, it will be reused
(but in this case it will not be brought to the front, and may not be visible).
features may include:
copyhistory visited pages (?); directories buttons to predefined addresses;
height=x in pixels; location field for URL; menubar of the browser;
resizable can resize window; scrollbars if contents do not fit in the window;
status statusbar; toolbar with e.g. "Back" and "Forward"; width=x in pixels.
- if none of these are specified, then get the normal browser window.

WINS Windows Internet Name Service.
Allows clients on different IP subnets to dynamically resolve addresses, register themselves, and browse the network
without sending broadcasts. Clients send unicast packets to the WINS server at a well-known address.
For compatibility with older Microsoft Networking clients, however, broadcast name resolution is still turned on by default,
even when WINS is also configured.
