The usual way to get at constants after a Dispatch
is via the win32com.client.constants object. In this
case, the constant you want is OLECMDID_SAVEAS which...

<code>
import win32com.client

IE = "InternetExplorer.Application"
ie = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch (IE)

print win32com.client.constants.OLECMDID_SAVEAS 

</code>
