I have added some changes to the code so that it looks more proffessional without explosions etc.
I have added a API to open and reodered some code lines and added a routine to prevent hang in case the hta cannot be opened.
You need a test.htm in the same directory as the .dsc to test it.
I did this just to show how to open any html file of your choice at startup just like any browser.
Code:

# Important notes: Users need Internet Explorer 4 or later!
#                  HTA can be real powerful. Watch out with
#                  when using scripts from others you don't
#                  understand

# For more info, visit:
# http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/hta/overview/htaoverview.asp

# -------------------------------------------------- #
# Use the #define command to add the command to VDS. #
# -------------------------------------------------- #

#define command,hta
#define function,hta

  # -------------------------------- #
  # Just create a normal VDS window. #
  # -------------------------------- #
 
  DIALOG CREATE,HTA Test Window,-1,0,306,233

  # Add the HTA to the Apllication                                              #
  # Sytax: hta create,top,left,width,height,title,htmlfilenamewithapth.ext,list #
  # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- #
  HTA CREATE,3,3,300,200,"The HTA Title",@PATH(%0)test.htm,1
  DIALOG SHOW

# Use the following line to obtain the HTA's Window Handle, which the
  %%handle1 = @hta(LastHandle)
# @hta(GetTitle) needs to retreive the current title.

:Evloop
wait event
goto @event()

:GetTitleBUTTON
info Current title: @hta(GetTitle,%%handle1)
goto evloop

:Close
# You don't need to send a special 'close' command, because the HTA
# window is a child window of this program. I only added the close command
# so you can see which command you need to close the HTA window when
# running your program.
hta close,%%handle1
Info HTA window closed. Bye!
exit

Is there any way to get the HTML contents of the HTA app? I want to make an editor using HTA, but I can't get the raw HTML.

Usually hta applications are ascii text

[edit] you probably mean programatically Embarassed

vbscript (from memory mostly) edit - corrected 5/2
Code:

Set Slist = window.document.getElementsByTagName("HTML")
myString = Slist(0).outerHTML

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("c:\temp.txt")
objFile.WriteLine myString
objFile.Close

Thanks! I think I should have been more clear though. I want to automatically save the HTML source when I close the application. I want to rewrite my SelfNote.exe app to use HTA as the editor. I have it save upon closing the EXE. Can that be done?

Assuming my code works (untested!) just replace the temp.txt file name with the file name of the hta, it will overwrite iteself.

Should be

Code:

<script language="vbscript">
Sub Window_onBeforeUnload
         Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
            Set objFile = window.document.location.pathname
         Set SpanList = window.document.getElementsByTagName("HTML")
         strLine =SpanList(0).outerHTML
         objFile.WriteLine strLine
         objFile.Close
End Sub
</script>
