ProQuest Direct & Acrobat windows

We have recently subscribed to ProQuest Direct and I am frustrated with the
way PQD 'captures' Acrobat windows in Netscape 4. I would like to have the
pdf files open in a separate Acrobat window (or full screen), rather than
within the PQD
frameset. Now you must scroll sideways and down in order to read the screen
-- a bug, not a feature, I'd say. I  emailed their technical support last
week but have not received a response thus far.

I know that when I construct a webpage, I can set the hyperlink properties
to capture any windows opened from that page (or not capture them). Does
anyone know if this is possible with PQD?

Thanks for the advice.
