Steve,

I noticed on your last email you wrote :-

Ah - you've written a (subset) HTML browser object. Have you released this
anywhere or is it for internal use only ? I ask because for a (very) long time
now I've wanted to put context sensitive, online documentation into my DAP
program (sample editor) and writing in HTML is the easiest way - but I never
really came up with a solution of how to display this context sensitive help
from within DAP - and having an HTML browser object would solve all my problems
!! I did try out someone else's HTML object but is was rather flaky and only
supported a very limited set of HTML commands (certainly no piccies).

Cheers,

TicH
