I tried the suggestions, and here is what I found. Opening a window is not problem when using a form. However, I want this to be automatic, not requiring the viewer to have to click on something. And I haven't found anything that would allow for a n automatic submission of a form.

When I tried using the -target parameter in the header, I couldn't get it to work in either Netscape, Firefox, or Safari. (I didn't bother to test it in IE because it has to work for all common browsers, or not at all.)

On the server I use, there are a ton of CGI packages, and I haven't had time to wade through them all; maybe there is an answer there. I am currently trying to use two CGI objects to see if that would work, but as yet, I haven't found a way to cause them to operate in two different windows.
