Create a new child window for the current server session. "name" is the name of the window, and "action" is either: OPEN, CLOSE, or REDIRECT. OPEN will create a new window and open it. CLOSE will close an existing window. REDIRECT will start redirecting all server output to the specified window. If the window did not yet exist, the Redirect action will call Open first.
Several special "names" can be used: _top refers to the parent server window, _previous refers to the previous window that had focus before this window was created.
Options is a database variable or string list of options to control the window creation. The format is: option1=value1|option2=value2...
Coordinate values
The coordinate values used in the options can be a simple number of pixels, or can be of the format xxx% to represent a percentage of the screen, or xxxC to represent a certain number of characters. For example, height=10c is the height of 10 characters on the screen. height=50% would use half the height of the screen.
