Thanks for taking the trouble to comment and ask. The challenge
always with putting up examples is deciding the point
at which enough is illustrated to make something useful; as opposed
to a more comprehensive example which then, perhaps, hides the wood
among too many trees. (Or something). My preference, on my own site
and when posting to this group, is towards the former: functional
brevity. Your suggestion for a fleshed-out example involving printer
setup is a good one, I think. Assuming I can find the time, I'll
try to put something together as a separate example.

I'm very keen to add things. It just needs the right mixture of
perspiration and inspiration, as the expression has it. Most often
an example here starts as a question on this or the python-win32
lists so thanks for the suggestions. I will add them to the list.
(Of suggestions :) ).
