Actually not. In certain cases, it is OK. Pure html. If one is using opera 
with a stored session, it will come up used for asps, etc., in that session. 
There is no way to set arguments in the file-associations dialog so may need 
to call a script instead of opera directly. This wouild leave us with the 
same double-instance (blank and target).

Almost there ... what next?
