HOWTO Post to a web page like an HTA with target=_blank

Please help,

I'm trying to build 2 web pages in a CGI app, where web page A uses a 
standard FORM to post to web page B via something like this:

<form 
  method=post
  action="MyCgi.exe"
  target=_blank
>
  <input type=hidden name=WHICH_PAGE_DO_I_GO_TO value="Page B">
</form>

I want page B to come up like HTA's can, where HTA's can make the web page 
come up maximized, with no browser (IE-Browser) buttons at all. That is, no 
IE toolbar which holds buttons like BACK, REFRESH, etc, no IE menu bar with 
FILE, EDIT, TOOLS, etc.

I do not know how to do this. I would imagine that the HTTP header written 
by my CGI will need to say something different for the Content-Type, which of 
course is no set as:

Content-Type: text/html

Obviously, I can not change the "action=MyCgi.hta" as it is an CGI 
application. I also really can't change the need for the FORM as script on 
the page changes that hidden element to set which page to go to. So things 
like showModelessDialog/showModalDialog/createPopup, and others are not 
really an option, sadly. In fact, if anything I want the new page "B" to 
REALLY popup into a TRULY seperate IE browser session.

Can I change the Content-Type in the HTTP header to make the browser think 
this is an HTA? Maybe I can use script to hide the Browser tooldbars? What 
about making the page "B" open in a TRUELY seperate session of IE, so that if 
"A" is closed, "B" still stays around. Likewise if "B" crashes for whatever 
reason, "A" is not affected.
