Hi Patrick:

You asked:

You can use:

<.A HREF="(your url)" TARGET="_blank">

This will open up the link a new window. 

BUT - it might cover your original window that the user may never return to. 
When new window opens and covers your old window, they will try to use the 
"back" button on the browser's new window to return.  This won't work so they 
might end up moving on from there.   They may never know that the original 
window is still there until after they sign off.

Keep that in mind....
