Win is the main wxPanel.

When I change 'Win' (the main wxPanel) to 'pnlHtml' (a wxPanel) like this

btnHtml = create(wxButton,{Win,-1,
winHtml = create(wxHtmlWindow,{Win,-1,-1,50}) -- This is the main part.

btnHtml = create(wxButton,{pnlHtml,-1,
winHtml = create(wxHtmlWindow,{pnlHtml,-1,-1,50}) -- This is the main part.

then nothing happens.

Also when I change to 'frmHtml' (a wxFrame) nothing happens.

btnHtml = create(wxButton,{frmHtml,-1,
winHtml = create(wxHtmlWindow,{frmHtml,-1,-1,50}) -- This is the main part.

Child windows and wxPanels and wxFrames confuse me. I usually fiddle with them
without completely knowing what I'm doing until something works.
