exact) I posted this comment:

If you have the HTML information loaded into a TextArea (such as TextArea1), 
the following should be sufficient:

HTMLViewer1.LoadPage TextArea1.Text, ""

That seems NOT to be true now.  Was it true back them?  Or does the current 
situation differ from what the situation was earlier?

AIso, I currently get the error message "Parameters are not compatible with 
this function."  And the Language Reference currently gives this example  of 
working code to display a Web page whose contents are in TextArea1:

Dim f As New FolderItem
HTMLViewer1.LoadPage(TextArea1.Text, f)

That example DOES work, even though I'm not sure why, since nothing specific is 
set as to where the somewhat hypothetical folder item is (and that could be 
important, since temporary files cannot be written to a CD Drive (which may be 
D:\ or E:\, depending on the computer) or you may not want the program to write 
temporary files to a nearly full hard drive or to a small flash drive (just to 
give two examples).

I guess I'm really asking two  questions:

(1) Did the following work at one time?:

HTMLViewer1.LoadPage TextArea1.Text, ""

(2) Where does Real Studio put the temporary files if you use the sample code 
in the current Language Reference?:

Dim f As New FolderItem
HTMLViewer1.LoadPage(TextArea1.Text, f)

 
Again, that code DOES work. I'd just like to know if temporary files are being 
written just where they are being written.

HTMLViewer1.LoadPage TextArea1.Text, "" ever worked. The second parameter must 
be a folderitem.

If you use the sample code, the folderitem will point to the same location as 
GetFolderItem("") would, which is the parent folder of the executable. A more 
appropriate sample might be:

HTMLViewer1.LoadPage(TextArea1.Text, SpecialFolder.Temporary)

Thanks for the information.  I have edited my original post so that it is now 
correct.
