ADD HTML to the code

Sun Dec 4 17:57:58 EST 2005

Could someone tell me how to add some HTML tags to this program. I want
to be able to change the background color, add some headers, and put a
table below the map that will be displayed. Could someone please tell
me how to add this to the current program. Thanks in advance.
