Win32com, "Microsoft Internet Controls" vs. "Microsoft HTML Object Library"

Hmm I suppose, not 110% python, but I am examining the world of com
with python, and I need pointers to the docs.

I am following the ancient guide how to interface with MS IE through
Win32 extensions, run Makepy on "Microsoft Internet Controls", and
weeh I can fire up an IE and navigate around.. the nice PythonWin
editor. 

>>> from win32com.client import Dispatch
>>> ie=Dispatch("InternetExplorer.Application")
>>> ie.Navigate("somewhere")


When using it in pythonwin it doesn't suggest much, like typing doc. I
only get a listbox with choices I have used.. 

But if I Makepy on "Microsoft HTML Object Library", the listboxes is
full, contains much, but the structure of ie is different, not the
same functions/variables.. 

Whats the diff, where do I read how to fix? I think I know where the
MS IE controls docs can be found, IWebBrowser2, but what to look for
for the HTML Object Library?

Or am I totally off??
