[Tutor] setting object to None doesn't kill Word

[Mallett, Roger]

Per D-Man's recommendation, in an attempt to get information about win32 and
Python, I combed the tutor archives for all messages that concerned COM and
come up with only a couple, none of which gave any hint to the problem I'm
looking at.

Question:  Where is the best place to ask questions about Python for win32?
Does Mark Hammond answer such question directly, or should I post to another
Python list?...

I recall someone on the list mentioning having some problems with COM
and python.  Check the archives.  I think that the COM objects had
some sort of close function that should be used before removing the
reference.
