The PythonCard Samples Launcher has an application called 
simpleIEBrowser that I think should clarify a lot of your concerns.

NOTE: Please don't confuse this with the simpleBrowser sample!

After you have played a little with the simpleIEBrowser and modified the 
source to fully understand what is happening you may be able to adapt it 
to fill your needs.

I have used the IEHtmlWindow widget and can perhaps help you if you have 
any more questions.

HTH,
Jussi
