How can I make a link that opens maximized?

If FrontPage 2000, I need to make a link that will open a separate page in IE, but maximized.  Is there an easy way in HTML to do this?

knightEknight's code is good and straight forward.  But if you have links in many other pages that link to the page you want big than I suggest keeping it simple and adding my code to the page.  Instead of adding "<A href="yourpage.htm" onclick='window.open(this.href,"width="+(screen.width-5)+",height="+(screen.height-60)+",screenx=0,screeny=0,top=0,left=0");return false;' >click me</a>"  to every link that needs to open Max.  I think we have it covered, use whichever fits suits your situation best.
i agree, when it starts getting that long, put it in a function.
