Wonder if there is a way to get that to display like a web-page in a field on Linux? Richmond.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If your Linux has Python+WebKit installed (e.g. it is pre-installed in Linux Mint), you can use the following solution to display the web page in all types of window (easily tailored with/without scrollbars, topmost, bottom-most, etc., sized and positioned): http://www.howsoft.com/runrev/extensions/ I integrated this browser into my WYSIWYG Webpage Editor for Linux (written in LC of course) in various ways: http://www.howsoft.com/linux/webed2/ Naturally, the LC embedded browser will be even more convenient when it comes along, but with the solution outlined above my personal need of it is no longer urgent at all.

I think that RG's request that the "revBrowser-like thing" for Linux be backported to 7.x.x is a wonderful idea. Richmond. ------------------------------------------------------ Don't get me wrong, I think it's a wonderful idea too. If RG/Mark can actually get it done, I would be more than pleased........ I'm a little tired of having to bust my guts in order to "cope with things" in LC/Linux!
