You can take this one step further: in another Smalltalk, I've used the
Internet Explorer COM component, grabbed the DHTML Document COM object, and
used the write method to write HTML directly into the browser. You can put
the IE COM component right in your application and it is pretty seamless.
See the Internet Browser example in Dolphin for an example of how to do it
in DS.
