// Name   : newWindowHandler (v1.0.1)
// Args   : none
// Desc   : This JavaScript object is designed to display an Active Server 
//          Page - which requires access to the user's Session object - in 
//          a new window. Therefore it first loads an HTML document in the new 
//          window, then copies the cookie from the current window to the new 
//          window and then loads the ASP document.
