Thanks for reading my mind Jon.  I installed it and it is just what I
wanted. 

For those who haven't installed it yet, the option isn't in the "Output
Options" section. It is at the bottom of the Output page labeled: "Send
all plot output to new window".  By looking at the source of this page I
found that it was setting a variable called new_output_window to true.
This can be set when you first go to LAS if you put it in the URL like:

	http://server.name/las6/servlets/dataset?new_output_window=true

it would set this variable for the whole session.  Since I have a page
that redirects to the las6 Tomcat server anyway, I just added this in to
the redirect and it did what I want.  Presumably there is some place in
LAS that would allow me to set this variable to true to start with (any
hints Jon?).

This isn't right.  I was equating it with the old "Get Data" button.
Sorry about that.

As far as testing it out, the only thing that I've seen so far is that the
version on the plots still says LAS 6.1.  Let's hope that is the only
"problem" there is. :0)

Thanks for putting this latest feature in.  I think it makes LAS 6 much
more usable.

Best Regards,

Steve
