In the previous version in CVS, it was misspelled to say '/rat/adm/'  
- just to explain my most recent commit.

There are browsers that need something in the open statement, I  
believe Internet Explorer to be one of them. I believe there is a  
function in lonhtmlcommon or loncommon which does the right thing for  
each browser to get a new empty window.
