One answer is like this:
popupParent.html
popup.html
...but the problem with this is that (at least for me using IE6), sometimes windows that you are opening with anything other than default parameters open slooooowly.
Another solution might be to PRETEND you have a popup window. This works MUCH faster (for me, anyway). Here's an example [just one of many possible variations on the theme]:
Good luck!

popupParent.html
Code:
<html>
<head>
<script>
var answer = "";
function popupMessage()
{
var popup = window.open("popup.html", "_new", "width=200,height=100");
if(popup) popup.focus();
}
function showAnswer()
{
alert("Answer is: " + answer);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type='button' value='Get Popup Answer' onclick='popupMessage()'/>
</body>
</html>popup.html
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Your answer requested</title>
<script>
function processAnswer(answer)
{
opener.answer = answer;
var o = opener;
this.opener = self;
window.close();
o.showAnswer();
}
</script>
</head>
<body background='Menu'>
Is this what you want?
