I read more carefully through Python Programming on Win32 and came up
with this code:

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
class DefaultDebugDispatcher( 
	win32com.server.dispatcher.DefaultDebugDispatcher):
    def _HandleException_(self):
        excls,exself = sys.exc_info()[:2]
        if not IsCOMServerException(excls):
            raise COMException(description = str(exself),
                scode = winerror.E_INVALIDARG,
                )
        raise

useDispatcher = DefaultDebugDispatcher
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

I tried several other winerror codes, but they all wiped out my
description.  This seems to work for my purposes.  There is some
additional code that emails traces to me, but I snipped it since it
makes little sense without a lot more context.

Please let me know if I missed a better approach.

Thanks very much for your attention.
