If the first character of the text being set is a "<" then it will do what 
you want -
>HtmlWindow1.text = '<p>This is <b>sample</b> text</p>'
otherwise it interprets the text as a URL name to load.

If it's not convenient to ensure that the first char is a "<", then you can 
instead call SetPage
>    HtmlWindow1.SetPage('This is <b>sample</b> text')

btw - this answer is from a combination of docs and source code - i.e. I 
haven't actually test it - but I'm fairly sure it's right. If not, my 
apologies ....
