For a partial implementation of your vision go to: www.himlayanacademy.com/studyhall/ and download the "HimalayanAcademy" application for your platform. This is a small stand alone engine which we refer to as "hakey.mc" the "Key" stack... this downloads another stack called "the Portal" stack, the Portal stack then downloads and runs other stacks. Note, this implementation is entirely based on stacks and makes no attempt to act as a browser for web/html pages... but the code necessary to have the stacks "boot" the local browser for view web pages is included in the stack script of the key stack (which you can find for developers at the bottom of the page) This assumes the user has her internet apps preferences/binding properly set to auto boot a browser. i.e. you can just download the hakey.mc stack and open in Revolution.... please forgive the UI which is very poor interms of interface design and trapping for connectivity problems etc. Consider simply using the internet for what it really is: wires that pass information from one machine to another. And considering that the time to deploy content using Rev is probably 1/20 the time required to serve up the same content via HTML/JAVA etc... if you have control over your user base client configuration (as in a school or local LAN) then forget HTML. Of course if you are trying access an existing legacy of HTML or your "client base" is the "world" where html browsers still rule that's a different issue... but even there you can deploy your Rev application as a web helper in the exact same way as Acrobat Reader, Real Player etc. is deployed...
