	A couple of points of clarification: the focus() method is
Javascript 1.1 (IE4 DOM in the IE world), so it doesn't work in Nav2 or IE3
(it'll throw an error). Of course, you can enclose "self.focus()" in a
script block with a language attribute of "javascript 1.1". I think that
Jeff also described another technique a month or so ago.(??)
	Also, some IE4.01 installations would open a new window each time
regardless, related to a bug in its "Browse in a new process" option
(http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q227/0/24.ASP?LNG=ENG&SA=A
LLKB). This was fixed in 4.01 SP2.
