	Well, my main intent was to clarify that the onsubmit method *can*
be used to open a new window as the target of a form. But in fact, the
pop-up window should handle any repeated form submissions that you throw at
it; if it's already open, your form will send its stuff to that already open
pop-up. The only problem that I've seen is that IE will not automatically
put the focus back on that window when you write new stuff to it, although
there are one or two simple techniques to work around that (such as
including onload="self.focus();" in the body tag of your form-results
document). If I'm still not getting what you're trying to do, feel free to
clarify.
