I don't recommend it because it doesn't work on Windows but
HTMLViewer1.LoadPage M, Nil
shoud work on OS X
The safest cross-platform answer is probably to create a file to use in the
temporary directory.
Dim fileToAccess As FolderItem
Dim tos As TextOutputStream
fileToAccess = TemporaryFolder.Child("greekNT.html")
If fileToAccess.Exists = False Then
tos = fileToAccess.CreateTextFile
tos.Close
End If

Volume(0) is the cross-platform version of "C:\" but once again don't use
it.
What you're looking for in this instance is TemporaryFolder
