What about ? :

<head>
<stuff>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function openWin1(foo) {
   n =
open('help'+foo+'.htm','_blank','width=450,height=450,menubar=no,scrollable=yes,res
izable=yes');
}
// -->
</script>
</head>

and then

<body>
A brief <a href="javascript:openWin1('1')" onMouseOver="window.status='An
explanation of the terms'; return true">explanation</a>
A brief <a href="javascript:openWin1('2')" onMouseOver="window.status='An
explanation of the terms'; return true">explanation</a>
</body>
