I would be delighted to escape from IE into the warm womb of Emacs and
save my trackball for emergencies, but it seems from

http://www.cs.indiana.edu/elisp/w3/docs.html

that Emacs/W3 was abandoned 4 years ago: elementary parts of the
documentation have never been written, and there is nothing about
running the program under recent Windowses.  Is that because something
better has come along?

I would be delighted to escape from IE to the warm womb of Emacs and
reserve my trackball for emergencies.  However, it seems from

http://www.cs.indiana.edu/elisp/w3/docs.html

that W3 has been abandoned for 4 years; elementary parts of the
documentation are still begging to be written, and there is no mention
of using the program under recent Windowses.  Is that because
something better has come along?

I use mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org) and the following in my .emacs:

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b") 'browse-url-mozilla)
;; set options for Mozilla
(setq browse-url-new-window-flag t)
(setq browse-url-mozilla-new-window-is-tab t)

Then C-c b opens a new mozilla window, or a URL in a tab.

Thanks very much for your suggestions, Kevin and Dan.  (I apologize
for the double posting; my ISP stalled and I thought the first one
hadn't gotten thru.)
