If you are using a GUI (i.e., "windowing") browser, this is already under
your control -- just use two windows, one for the TOC and the other for
the document:
.-----------------.
| TOC .-----------------.
|---------------| == Document === |
| * ------ |-----------------|
| o ------ | |
| o ------ | |
| * ------ | |
| o ------ | |
|_______________| |

...or are you one of those silly DOS-bred people who maximize all windows? ;)
What I generally do is leave the TOC open, and click on each link using the
'Open Link in New Window' command in the popup menu. Works like a charm. :)
