Thanks Tony!

I had a suspicion it had to do with casting it, but I was missing some
synapses to figure out exactly how to do that. Things have changed
from my Assembly Language PL/1 and REXX days.  :) I figure if I'm
gonna learn a new language, Python's a lot more usable than VBS, and
it has an elegance to it that I already appreciate. I'm working my way
thru Learning Python ... I suppose I better find some doc on the Win32
COM stuff too.
