Win32all documentation?

Hello,

Is there a good source for *complete* documentation of
win32all and the wonders it can accomplish?  I have
found lots of examples on the web that show part of
how to use a certain module, but then fail to explain
the rest of it.  ActiveState's documentation is either
very elusive or doesn't exist; what scraps I have been
able to find are usually incomplete and/or do not give
any hints as to where other, related scraps might be
found.

I'm interested in things like enumerating all the
windows on the desktop, or the child windows of a
window, or calling SystemParametersInfo to change the
Windows desktop background image, getting and setting
captions of windows, scripting app interaction (like
mouse clicks and such, not just SendKeys).  I've found
an example on using SendKeys from WSH; I'd love to
find ANY more documentation on the WSH itself and/or
how to call it from Python....

Phew.  I know it's a long list, but I'm hoping that
there's a bunch of documentation out there that I just
don't know how to find.  All I really need is maybe
some pointers to urls or MSDN locations... If someone
would just lead me to water, I promise to drink as
much as I can.  :-)  I have searched all over
ActiveState, especially in the Python Cookbook area
(which is where I found most of the examples that hint
to me that these things can be done); I have also
searched all of the resources exposed on the Python
search pages.  For the Windows-specific portions of my
query, I have scoured MSDN as well.  Connecting to
WSH, for example, is explained, but no documentation
seems extant for *USING* it once you've connected. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much,

-dB

I'm feeling very surreal today... or *AM* I?
