I can't get this to work. Look at this page:
http://hiddenregistration.com/details.html

and near the bottom click on the book-link for Technical Contact.
That should open a window with ../glossary.html in it. What I want
then is for this glossary window to jump to the anchor for "Tech".
<a name="Tech"></a>
It stays at the top.

Erik, thanks for jumping in, but I tried your suggestion:
> infowin('glossary.html#word')

And I tried to set up the example you sent me at:
> http://developer.irt.org/script/594.htm

But I couldn't get that to work either. Either I'm having a
serious brain cramp, or this just can't be done, at least in
IE. I've tried in IE5.5 and IE6, no go.

Thanks folks. I appreciate the help.
