Wow! That'd be great when it's ready. (Because, without wanting to
discourage you, it's quite difficult.)

The only thing possible to do this is to use a normal field and set the
htmlText property of it to some HTML source. Something like

  set the htmlText of field "myBrowserWindow" to url
"http://www.metacard.com";

There is only one big drawback: this htmlText only supports a very small
subset of the official HTML. So no frames, no tables, no images...

If the field "myAddress" contains a url (something like
"http://www.metacard.com";) you could use this:

  set the htmlText of field "myBrowserWindow" to url field "myBrowserWindow"

If you want to have some nice progress bars, you'd need some more
programming. (I don't know which, from the top of my head.)

Hope this helped, and I wish you all the best with making this browser!
