So, revBrowser is a non-Linux thing . . .
So, I tried this in a button:
on mouseUp
put URL"http://www.distrowatch.org"; into fld "wab"
end mouseUp
and got the raw HTML code in my field.
Wonder if there is a way to get that to display like a web-page in a
field on Linux?

If your Linux has Python+WebKit installed (e.g. it is pre-installed in
Linux Mint), you can use the following solution to display the web
page in all types of window (easily tailored with/without scrollbars,
topmost, bottom-most, etc., sized and positioned):

I integrated this browser into my WYSIWYG Webpage Editor for Linux
(written in LC of course) in various ways:

Naturally, the LC embedded browser will be even more convenient when
it comes along, but with the solution outlined above my personal need
of it is no longer urgent at all.
That's certainly a way of coping with things, but not in terms of
sending a standalone out to customers: I cannot
see anyone doing that and writing in a "README" file: must have
Python+WebKit installed.
I think that RG's request that the "revBrowser-like thing" for Linux be
backported to 7.x.x is a wonderful idea.
