Roger & John - thanks for the info.  Unless I'm wrong (a distinct 
posibility) this isn't an option, as all though COM is used as the 
interface, it is used to talk to *in process* code loaded from a DLL - so 
Python can only be used if the interpreter is invoked from within a custom 
shell extension .dll, which is probably not the best idea for various 
reasons.

Thanks,
