JJ,

> Property ID 0 will be the default value of an object.

Thanks.  Initially I though you just ment the first-defined one there, and 
it took me a while to realise you might have ment it literally. :-)

Though it seems that there are a few pitfalls when accessing that default :

The below won't quite do what I thought it would (only figured that out 
after displaying the "typename" of 'MyArray' :-\ ) :

MyArray = 42

I have to use

MyArray() = 42

instead.

And while

wscript.echo MyArray

now (calls the defined PropertyGet) returns its value,

wscript.echo MyArray()

throws an error.  Trying to change the IDLs PropertyGet into a method causes 
a "duplicate definition" error.   Not really funny, having to use two 
different notations for the same thing ...

Any ideas ?

Rudy Wieser
