the building blocks you want to work with are: ask file -- which invokes a dialog box which will allow you to choose the file you want to read
open for read -- which lets you open the file you want to read (when your done reading be sure to use "close file" to avoid problems) you'll also need theHtmlText. The way I did this was to build a stack with one button and two fields. What you are going to do is read raw HTML into the one field, get that field's html text property and put that into your second field. You could of course do this with containers, but I prefer working with fields. You can set "the visible" field one (the field into which raw html is imported) to false. I'd recommend actually writing the routine yourself since you'll learn more and be able to do exactly what you want with the field. I have a stack here: http://www.runrev.com/revolution/downloads/developerdownloads/ENGLEMCRRStacks.zip that does this, it imports html, and lets you write it to a field. Have fun.
