We already have edbrowse here.
Unless you have successfully used it at paypal, meaning you can correct 
what happens  when I tried using it there  when my problems first started, 
I am  unsure of the point.
  granted the person who created the software did not think it will work 
there  so if you have benn successful at paypal let me know.
I could not even get ebrowse  to load a text file.
