Subject: WIN32OLE problems

Hi!
In the thread "Howto get source code of displayed IE-pages?"
Chris Morris gave me a link to OLE-documentation for the 
internet explorer. (Thanks a lot, Chris!)

I tried this code in order to get the source of a page:

require 'win32ole'
ie = WIN32OLE.new('InternetExplorer.Application')
ie.visible = true
ie.Navigate("http://www.ruby-lang.org")
puts ie.document

but the last line did not work.
My second guess ie["Document"] does not work, either.
IIRC i got a missing method error.

So here are my question:
1. What's wrong? (You never had guessed that, did you?)

2. Has any method of any server to be coded into WIN32OLE by hand or
   does a WIN32OLE object read what's provided at its creation time?

3. How do i get a list of methods/properties for ie?
   I tried puts ie.methods.join(", "), but this does not give me the
   Navigate method and a lot of other methods, that showed up which i
   tried locked ruby completely.

Thanks for any help
Martin.
