Here is the text on THIS example of a pop up window.

You can either scroll this window or even change its size, but it lacks many of the other features of a browser window.

More text can be placed here, including images and even more links to other pages on this site or anywhere else.

If you know this window is going to pop up only ONCE might you read it with more care than otherwise. The cookie that controls the number of pop ups allowed is variable.

This pop up window is set to allow only one pop up per session. You can start a new session by closing your browser program and starting again. Hitting your refresh button does NOT clear out "session cookies" that have been installed.

Generally there are many cookies that are very helpful to the browser -- such as a "session cookie" that enables the browser to keep track of your sequence of "back pages."
