Controlling popup windows in Netscape

[Cindy Murdock]

Hello all,

I have several thin clients at my library that run the linux version of
Netscape in kiosk mode with no window manager, hence no X to click on to
close a window.  This poses a problem when it comes to popup windows that
open with no toolbar, as I've added a "Close Window" button to the toolbar
to allow the user to close multiple instances of Netscape.  I thought I had
a handle on the problem by using a program called Muffin to change any
instance of "toolbar=no" in the javascript window.open function to
"toolbar=yes", but to my chagrin I've discovered that Netscape's default for
this function is toolbar=no when nothing is specified in the window.open
statement.  Since there's nothing there, I can't use Muffin to replace it.
Does anyone know of a way to change Netscape's default for this function?
I've combed through the web4lib archives as well as Andrew Mutch's great
page on securing Netscape, to no avail.

TIA,
Cindy
