redirecting to an external url

I have an application that needs to redirect to an external url in a new window directly from the controller. I have not been able to figure out how. Can someone give me some pointers.

The URL is calculated based upon user input and database columns.

Thanks Don French

You can'thave the redirect do the new window bit - the url the user clicks on must specify that it opens in a new window. Aside from that it's just a question of redirect_to "http://www.example.com"
