Marc,
I think you want this (untested, dug up from my own script archives):
OpenURL TheURLPointer toWindow 0 -- opens new browser window
Why aren't you using Netscape Communicator 4.79?

Result: original window will load the last page requested fully, in this

case, 55.html. The other requests will be over-ridden by the newer request.
