I think you're right. I did a lot of research and came up with this
solution:

mywin = window.open("http://alliancetech.com/some_gif.gif";, title, args);
mywin.location = ("http://alliancetech.com/files/daily_20040718.pdf";);

The window is opened with a gif or something like a "Please wait..." page,
then the location call gets the pdf I'm really interested in. I still get
to take advantage of Cocoon for resolving my urls, but it adds an extra
step which, in my case, is not a serious problem. I still would like to
hear if anyone else has solved this, but I can live with the workaround for
now.

Thanks again.

Leona
