Since you don't know a users screen size in advance I don't think
there's a JavaScript magic bullet for this - especially if you're
using fvwm2 with it's funky desktop that's bigger than the
screen. But when you're designing the presentation to run only
on your own screen...

Once the new window opens you can use the standard HTML
links/buttons/etc to navigate through the new pages

I wish Linux Mozilla supported sound in Java apps, macromedia

a *reality* for people with enough bandwidth and <cough_gasp>one

as a Netscrape plug-in?
