Way to determine if button is pressed in browser

[Chipp Walters]

We've a browser control (altBrowser.dll) which is embedded into RR as an
object. It can do what you're looking for. Only problem is, it only works
with RR2.0 and the latest MC engine. It can be instatiated to run either IE
or Mozilla and of course control all aspects of the browser.

Tuviah wrote most the code, and we added a bit here and there. I built a
skinnable RR app around it "LEO" as well, which acts like a browser.

You can see more info about it at:

There are ongoing discussions about building a version for the Mac. If
you're interested, go to the above link and sign up, and we'll notify you
when it ships.
