Mmmm. Sounds not like a ready to use solution at all.
Given the fact that I am a Pharo n00b it wouldn't be an easy way to go I
guess.

Same "problem" here I guess?

This one?
https://github.com/dalehenrich/tode/blob/master/repository/Tode-Client-Pharo.package/monticello.meta/version
And what do you mean with "Pharo tools" here?

Of course, I agree!
Would you be so kind to point me to some docs about this?

May I conclude that *maybe* "tODE" and "the tools needed to talk to WebKit"
are the best ways to achieve my goal(s)?
But, between the lines I read that it would be a rough way (for me at
least), which would be a bit too rough for me as aa Pharo n00b.

In C# I can do this literally in a few hours, given the fact that ready
made components exist.
So, maybe I'd better stick with that for this project and try my hands on a
bit easier and smaller Pharo projects :-)

Anyway, I really appreciate the help!

Many thx!
