Oops!
Sorry, Hassan, the colon was a typo, it was (in my last effort, anyway) a quote in the test code. Also, I typed in another error, by naming the title twice. The revised code (pasted this time, not typed) is
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[DEFAULT]
BASEURL=file://C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\webcam.htm
[InternetShortcut]
URL=javascript:window.open("http://barnsplace.com/barnsplace/webcam32/webcam.asp", "webcam","menubar=0,scrollbars=0,width=330,height=250,toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0");
Modified=60A331B1F89FC0013D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I quoted the URL as well as the rest and at least I got a new error. No message, but the browser window (not resized, btw) now displays
[object]
which is not anything I've seen before.
I thought I had quoted all three segments before, but obviously I mis-typed something somewhere. But still, there is not the desired result, which is a resized window with a specific page displayed. If it makes any difference, the page to be displayed is an output page for a webcam, which is (assumption on my part) likely the cause of the "[object]" display in the browser now.
It still doesn't work, and while I have learned a few new things, I'm still not smart enough to fix it <whine />.
Make a good day . . .

(1) window.open() takes *three* params -- URL, name, options, and
they must be quoted if they're literals;
(2) the second character from the end of the string should be a
quote mark (") rather than a colon (:)
