There are lots of uses for such a utility, so make it a function callable from within our programs. It would be useful for displaying help files, as a simple local browser, or even as a front-end for other programs. After all, there are a lot of programs that would work fine and look nicer with a simple "form" capability such as you see on the web every day. I suggest as a minimum: <H1>..<H6> and standard fonts color hilighted links (your function would return the name of the link) <code> or <pre> for program listing type layout, otherwise text wraps automatically. <form> with input fields for text entry and some buttons <IMG SRC> to include graphics (a must!) <BACKGROUND> to liven up things.
