Drop the control on a form and put NODEFAULT in its refresh method (known bug workaround). In the INIT method of the form, point the control at the HTML file you want to display using the following code:

THISFORM.oWebBrowser.navigate(somehtmlfile)

This will render the file in the browser. This should get you started, but only scratches the surface of the capability of this control.
