   Opal http POST showing the resulting web

   OK, I seem to have run into a brick wall.  I need my Opal code to open up   
   a webpage via a POST, and then display the resulting page.   
      
   I can issue a POST in the background and capture the results, using MSXML's   
   xmlHTTP functions.   
      
   I can display a webpage several different ways, using Tony's MSBrowser &   
   via startBrowser, and via shellExecute.   
      
   I can even capture a webpage in the background via GET using Lorrin Moore's   
   grabIt library.   
      
   But, I can't figure out how to do both at the same time.  Tony's MSBrowser   
   looked promising, but I need a SAFEARRAY data structure for the Navigate2   
   method to trigger the POSTdata, and that is out of my league.   
      
   My current webpage is pretty simple: a list of address fields to trigger   
   Google Maps.  I can't use GET because the clients aren't limited to the number   
   of addresses they can enter to get a route returned, and I'd run into the   
   URL length limit.   
      
   BTW, there are thousands of clients that will use this code, via Runtime   
   9.   
      
   Any other ideas?   
      
   Thanks,   
   Jim Moseley
