How to receive events (eg. user mouse clicks) from IE

[Roger Upole]

ie.Document will give you the document object.
That's where the Html object library comes in,
it contains the early-binding code for the Document
interface.  Then you can hook one of the event classes
for the Document (I see several in the generated file)
using the same methodology as  shown for the web
browser events.
