COM Interface Question

[Olaf Meding]

I am having trouble with the 'User' property (get and put), found near
the bottom of the IDL file listed below.  The user get call seems to
return None, not sure why.

More importantly, is there another way to get the 'IUser' value
required for the user put call?  (Perhaps I need to make the put call
before the get call).

Sorry for the long IDL file, tried to delete a lot of non-relevant
code.  Thanks so much for your help on this one.
