"calling" a html page

hello,
is it possible to show a html page on a cms page? I imagine something like a line of code, just like when you call the module news or the calender.

Check out the Embed Tag
In the CMSMS Admin Panel go to "Extensions->Tags" and click on the help link next to "embed" (or just read what I pasted below).
Help for the embed tag
What does this do?
Enable inclusion (embeding) of any other application into the CMS. The most usual use could be a forum. This implementation is using IFRAMES so older browsers can have problems. Sorry bu this is the only known way that works without modifing the embeded application.
How do I use it?
Just insert the tag into your template/page like: {embed}
What parameters does it take?
* (required)url - the url to be included
* (optional)header=true - this will generate the header code for good resizing of the IFRAME.
You must include in your page {embed url=..} and in the header section (advanced tab) you must put {embed header=true}

I'm guessing it means in the "Metadata:" section since there is no header section in the Advanced tab of editing a page. I've never used the embed tag

OH YA that is so funny check this out
http://www.multiintech.com/index.php?page=embeded
put this in the page edit box
{embed url=http://www.multiintech.com/old/index.html}
put this in the "Metadata:" section
{embed header=true}
be sure to put this in the of the template
{metadata}
BTW: the page in the page is draggable just like an open application window on your desk top, the menu and all the links work, that page is as close as i could get to a desktop app.... then i found CMSMS and stopped working on that site, also draggable page in CMSMS

Wow, those pages are really amazing!

That must have taken a LOT of work. Good job!
