I was trying to make this work several months ago, and tried
to open the windows event to trap the OnDocumentComplete from IE.
It was all beat.
I went with the über-hack:  a sentinel file in a certain spot writing
the word 'Done'.
COM programming recalls the Steven Write joke: "Went to the hardware
store to buy some batteries, but they weren't included; so I had to
buy them again."
