Right, that's why you have to call it twice, because the first time
the window doesn't exist.  After the first window.open opens the window,
you can have it open a location.  I remember Brendan Eich on the netscape
javascript list saying this was a bug in macs, but if it is also like 
that on other platforms, it wouldn't surprise me.
(wish they had better documentation for all of these unique "features" of
Javascript)
