	2) The page http://www.spellcheckit.com  has a form with inputs.  There
	appears to be no way to launch this form in Scamper.  Yes, there is one
	line of Javascript in the window setup, but I don't understand how a
	standard browser uses it.  If you are an HTML expert, tell us how this page
	works!
	
There is a _lot_ of Javascript in that page.
Look at elements like
<a href="javascript:openScript('termsSpellCheck.asp',450,300)">
<b><font...>terms of use</font></b></a>

What that means is
	when Joe Luser clicks on "terms of use"
	execute the Javascript code "openScript('...',450,300)"
The function openScript() opens a document in a new window.
Of course, this makes rather unwarranted assumptions about the screen
size and resolution, doesn't work well in Lynx or Amaya, and doesn't
work at all in browsers operated by people who know about and care about
security.
