Elsewhere someone recently claimed he got a similar scenario working by
calling showModalDialog with a URL to a server-side script on the
original server which then does a redirect to the intended URL e.g.
http://example.com/spellcheck/SpellStarter.aspx. I have never tested
whether respectively with what version of IE that works, whether
dialogArguments and returnValue work properly. But maybe you can try and
report back whether that works for you.
