No problem, dumb questions accepted. Answer is: don't do that.
To do that, your vrml and html readers have to be "integrated".
In simple terms, they have to be in the same process, i.e. be
one & the same thing. I.E. get the mosaic code, and compile
the vrml code into it.
Of course, you could get fancy, and have the two readers doing
hand-shakes and exchanging events, and what-not, but I don't
know that mozaic or mozilla or any other reader has ever provided
for this sort of multi-viewer function. Not sure why this would
even be an interesting feature, given that the simple solution seems
to work fine.
