I have read the win32 doc, and I have read your doc patch. I don't
know if .invoke  and on_event are compatible in some way or not.
though.

The example says...
router = WIN32OLE.new('SomeOleObject.Something')
ev = WIN32OLE_EVENT.new(router, nil)

ev.on_event {|*args| default_handler(*args)}
ev.on_event("NavigateComplete") {|url| navigate(url)}

in my case many of the params passed in are by reference and need to
be modified by the code that is handling the event. In other words the
ole object is requesting information my code by invoking events.

Do I still use the .invoke function here?
