Question:

In your definition of the HBROWSE function you have the following example:

AddExtender("WWHTM34I.DLL")

url = "http://www.windowware.com"

WinTitle("",url)
url = hBrowse(2,url,1)

**while url!=""
** WinTitle("",url)
** url=hBrowse(1,"",1)
**endwhile

hBrowse(0,"",1)
exit

I don't understand what the section that I marked with ** is doing. Could you explain?

Answer:

;Add the HTML Dialog extender
AddExtender("WWHTM34I.DLL")

;Set up the initial URL for the first hBrowse function call
url = "http://www.windowware.com"

;Set the Window title to the URL for lack of anything better
WinTitle("",url)

;Tell the extender to display the url in a html dialog window
url = hBrowse(2,url,1)

;Note that if the user clicks on *any* link, the clicked on
;field is returned via the URL variable.  If they click "CLOSE"
;then the URL variable is set to a null string ""

;So... while the url variable is NOT null, 
;continue this while loop
while url!=""
   ;Set the title to the new url
   WinTitle("",url)
   ;Allow "default" Browser processing to occur
   ;as in load the link the user clicked on
   url=hBrowse(1,"",1)
endwhile

;Close HTML Dialog window
hBrowse(0,"",1)
exit
