something better than HTMLText, anyone?

[Slava Paperno]

Right, thanks--I can do that if I save the HTML text first as an htm file,
then open it with revBrowserOpen() from the file. But I can't figure out how
to avoid that step. Is there a way to pass the HTML text to revBrowser
without saving it on the user's drive as a file?
