Browser HTML Source & URLs

[J. Landman Gay]

Try this:

   put url tURL into tSource -- the source text
   set the htmlText of fld "HTMLText" to tSource -- LC's display

LC only supports a subset of HTML, so when you put the source into a 
field, only the supported parts go in. But you can grab the unadultered 
source first.
