I simply resolved to heep my web page html files that I want to search in a seperate resource, and load its .RC list into one other .RC and process it into an array on form creation.
On discovering information on what resources are embeded in a Delphi application, MSDN is not too helpful from a Delphi point of view, but this looks very promising if any one is looking for anything like this . . Colin Wilson's (http://www.wilsonc.demon.co.uk/delphi.htm) XN Resource Editor provides source code and components . . " Resource Utilities<http://www.wilsonc.demon.co.uk/files/d9/resourceutils/resourceutils.zip>is a runtime package that contains classes that manipulate resources in Windows modules (.EXE, .DLL, .BPL, etc.) and resource files (.RES).
