* 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.
