 Detecting if the clients browser supports multiple windows with javascript

How can I detect if a clients browser supports multiple windows using
JavaScript.  Without opening another window to test this out.  Is
(document.frames) a good indicator that the browser supports multiple
windows.

What I want to do is write out a link that opens another window, but I only
want it to display if the browser supports multiple windows.  I know that
webtv doesn't support multiple windows and there may be other browser out
there also.

If a browser is capable of supporting script, then it's also capable of support
script-generated multiple windows.
