Hey, here I am!  The following is my quote from the CTLDOC list:

"In supporting faculty this semester, I have noticed that there seems to be
trouble with any WebCT function that involves opening a new browser window.
With further investigation, I have found that these problems are isolated to
Internet Explorer, and tend to be more abundant with the installation of the
latest service pak on XP.  I have found that in all cases, the problems do not
occur when a different browser is used."

Some of the functions that have failed: Mail, Discussion, Browse.  Also, linnks
created with WebCT tools that are set up to open a new browser window also
fail.

Hope this helps the discussion.
