Subject: Re: WIN32OLE Question

Brian,
     I don't have time to hunt it down right now, but there are
several free(speech & beer) ole/com browsers out there, that will
display all the available objects for you to play with, and their
methods.  There's even one written in ruby.
Google for something like ruby win32 com browser, and see if you find it.
