/*  -----------------------------openNewspeak(link)----------------------------  *
 * The function is used to open a supplemental window in which the user can        * 
 * display the Newspeak for reference to defined terms used by the site.            *
 *                                                                                 *
 *  Note:  When a window is closed, it still exists, but when typeof is applied    *
 *  to it, typeof returns 'undefined' which typeof is not supposed to ever retun.  *
 *  So I have some code to check that.                                             *
 *                                                                                 *
 *  openNewspeak() calling openNew1() calling openNew2() was necessary because  *
 *  when frames are used, there can be a thread problem.  In this case, the        *
 *  openNewspeak () function was looking for this.newspeakWindow.bottomnewframe,  *
 *  before it was instantiated.                                                    *
