The HTML stream is created automatically when data arrives and the MIME
parser finds out that the body is of type HTML. You can see how the stream
is set up in function pumpData in

    http://www.w3.org/Library/src/HTMIME.c

The stream stack builder function looks at the content type (text/html,
for example), and finds the appropriate stream. The callback handler is
called from

    http://www.w3.org/Library/src/HText.c

If you want to read a local file instead of a document with a HTTP URI
then you just feed a file URL to showtext and it should read the local
file instead, for example

    showtext file:/this/is/your/local/file.html

As far as I remember this should work.
