 * FILE: listanchors.js
 * The function listanchors() is passed a document as its argument and
 * opens a new window to serve as a "navigation window" for that
 * document. The new window displays a list of all anchors in the document.
 * Clicking on any anchor in the list causes the document to scroll to 
 * the position of that anchor.  A document should not call this
 * function on itself until it is fully parsed, or at least until all
 * the anchors in it are parsed.
