The key is `opener' propery of `window'object
(browser must be capable JavaScript 1.1)
I have tested it - just for you :) - with IE5 and NN4.61

Just a draft:

The parent HTML:

<HTML>
<BODY>
<FORM NAME=aForm>
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT VALUE="DEFAULT">
</FORM>
<A HREF="anInvalidLink" OnClick="window.open('child','childWindow');return
false;">A link to a child</a>
</BODY>
</HTML>

The child:

<HTML>
<BODY>
<SCRIPT>
function setInParent(aString)
{
 window.opener.document.forms[0].elements[0].value=aString;
}
</SCRIPT>
<FORM NAME=childForm
OnSubmit="setInParent(document.childForm.elements[0].value)">
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT VALUE="DEFAULT_CHILD">
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
