Thanks for the suggestion, I seem to be hitting the javascript on submit, 
the window is closing, the parent form is refreshing, but the information 
is not being submitted.  Here are snippets of the generated HTML.

<form  id="editcigarid" name="editcigar" action="index.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="module" value="cigardiary" />
<input type="hidden" name="CC_OP" value="save" />

... 

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[

document.getElementById('editcigarid').onsubmit=function dropWindow() {
  window.opener.location.reload(true);
  window.close();
  return true;
}

//]]>
</script>

It should be returning true to the "onsubmit" forcing it to submit the 
data to the server.

So far in my travels I've been able to either 

1. Save the data and not close the popup and refresh the parent window.

2. Close the popup and refresh the parent window but not save the data.

I don't care if it's easier, just so long as it works.  I think I'm 
getting close with your help.

It did help, but I'm not there yet.  There's some interaction with 
onsubmit that I don't understand.  Anyone with ideas, please speak up.
