**Can I write a web browser in Liberty BASIC?**

Yes, you can. It requires an additional DLL, or a lot of code to do the parsing and rendering. There are two free DLLs available that allow you to embed a browser control in your programs.

**Can I open a webpage without a browser DLL?**
Yes. You can also call up a webpage using the RUN command. The following code will open the user's default browser to the Liberty BASIC homepage.

[[code format="vb"]]
run "explorer http://www.libertybasic.com/"
