In Windows, a Rebol programming script can easily call the Internet Explorer to show webpages, SVGs, etc. IE can also be called in kiosk mode so that you do not necessarily have to show the buttons, menus etc. The only problem with this is that the Internet Explorer will not remain as the topmost window if it loses the focus, and you cannot easily size it or position it according to your convenience. In other words, it is impossible to integrate a tailor-made browser into a Rebol window as can be done very simply in Visual Basic.

The Howsoft IEPack for Rebol addresses this problem. It enables the Rebol programmer to integrate IE into his programs in a way which simulates this very useful facility in Visual Basic.
