You could use a custom dialog, and use an HTMLWindow inside it. If you even 
need it to be a dialog - might be just as easy to display the file within 
the primary window ?

(I haven't actually used an HTMLWindow yet - but I used FindFiles on the 
samples directory, searched for "html" and took it from there ..... looks 
like it should be straightforward ....  If you haven't used it, FindFiles 
is *really* useful to find examples of almost anything within PythonCard's 
own programs and samples.)
