It turns out this sets the wie.ie.Visible flag. So it's the same as I had 
doing that. The window flashes as it paints, then hides itself.

This effect happens with both the in-process COM server and the with 
IE.new_process() (which is otherwise working great; thanks!)

I thought that COM had a flag to pass into the object-creation muck to never 
display the window. And I know that CreateProcess[Ex], the heart of 
out-of-process creation, has one too.
