HTML-New Browser Window

A question asked at the end of one of the Internet SIG meetings was, "How do I make an HTML link open a new browser window." Time did not permit me to demonstrate the answer, but it is very simple.Will cause a link to the Tulsa Computer Society site, in the same browser window.
Will also link to the Tulsa Computer Society website, but in a new browser window. The only difference is the addition of "target=body" in the "a href" tag.
I don't know about you, but I hate websites that open new windows for all of their links, because it is such a pain to have to close them when you are finished, especially if you have to go down several levels to find the information you want. You must close all of the intermediate levels when you are finished, rather than just clicking on the Go Menu (in Netscape) or the Down Triangle (in IE5), and selecting the page, you want to jump back to.
