// this is not useful for building Netscape derivatives (since it is not
// error-tolerant and tables and backgroundimages are in pre-alpha-state; frames do not work at all),
// but for rapid forms-prototyping and powerful intranet solutions. (EmbeddedHTML)
// scenario: you convert sort of multimedia data from other platforms (e.g. M$'s .mvb) to html using
//			 a powerful perl scipt and then write a display-client for NS using this Textclass category.
// also useful for creating rtfd-docs (including NeXT-style links) programmatically
// or showing .html- based helpfiles in NS4.x-apps (somebody still has to build a MiscHelpPanel though)

// note that background images are only partly supported (better do not use)
// and form-objects not yet print in a smart way using the dingbats font.

// otherwise you will have to parse file as an URL
- showFile:(const char *) file atMarker:(const char *) markerName openInNewWin:(BOOL) flag;

-(NXImage*) getImageForFile:(const char*) theFile;

- setTitle:(const char *) aTitle;
