Alex... I paid $250 for the following answer from Netscape:
(it didn't help much!)

Hi,

You are embedding the Netscape as a OLE server.
This object does not provide any interfaces to
control it.

Alternatively you can use Netscape's OLE/DDE APIs.

OLE provides network and registry interfaces.
Get the more details at:
http://developer.netscape.com/library/documentation/communicator/OLE/index.htm

If you are trying to access network data as a stream
of bytes, then use Open(). This returns stream of data
to your application (Read()), without loading the page
into the Netscape window.

If you are trying to load page into this window,
then the only way is to use DDE API WWW_OpenURL.
This needs the window ID as a parameter, which
you need to identify using WWW_ListWindows and
WWW_GetWindowInfo topics.

Hope this helps,

Regards,
Ram.
