Success at last. Separate window means separate Window as in Microsoft Windows. A browser window is a type of window, but not what I wanted. For example, what I am able to do now is have a TWC link suggest software to open a file (such as xlxs) and it opens in an Excel window. A linked pdf

I appreciate all the advice - possibly what I am envisioning is not possible and that leads to a 2nd question - let me try the 1st question one more time - can I link to a file via TWC and have it open in a separate window? I don't think this is possible. If I wanted to link to a *.doc WORD

What I used was: a href=c:\users\richard\documents\mytiddly\stlukeconcertseries.pdf target=blankYour Link Text/a This did not open a new window. This opened a new tab. This did not open the file. So I may have another problem with the file name also. I can try Daniel Baird's direction.

More input/thoughts - on another WIKI I use (which I am hoping to move to TWC) files are located on a server but have a URL. When I click on the links to these files from within the WIKI, i am given three choices - open, save, or cancel. The open option opens the file in a separate window ans

How do I open files (stored on my HD or elsewhere) from TW? How do I open a pdf file? These to me are very basic questions that have eluded me for days. I assume I will need to supply a link somehow to a program to open the file unless it can be opened in a separate FF window. Is it better

I can open my HOME PAGE from TWC, and the FF add-in seems to save - but when I restart FF the original File loads and not the updated one. If I click on the file in the directory that was my HOME PAGE, the most recently saved version loads. There appear then to be multiple versions of my HOME
