I'm using window.open to open a new window.

var str = "...resizable=1,scrollbars=yes";
var win = window.open("index.htm", "course", str);

and all is well and good, except that IE displays a vertical scroll bar
even though the content fits within the browser window.

If I set "scrollbars=no" then if the user zooms in no scroll bars appear
if the size of the content exceeds the size of the window.

How can I set it so that an un-needed vertical scroll bar does not
appear in IE but that scroll bars do appear if the size of the content
makes it necessary?

You can't. However, in Compatibility Mode you can change the scrollbar
color so that a disabled scrollbar does not look that obtrusive. This has
nothing to do with window.open(), nothing to do with scripting. And it has
been discussed ad nauseam.
