  I wrote code for that at one point when I wanted to
put an object browser and "intellisense" into my own
editor program:

  I also wrote a VBS version dependent on tlbinf32.dll.

  But when I eventually looked at oleaut32.dll I realized
that tlbinf32 was actually a somewhat hokey mixup
of the typelib API and best abandoned, though it is
convenient in that it's script-accessible.

  This whole topic is intriguing and tempts me to look
into options incorporating it all. Something like directCOM
for VBS. But then I can't really think of how it could be
widely useful for scripters. Registering is not a big deal.
Using a reg-free tool would probably require more
expertise for the average scripter to grasp. And you
seem to have already invented that wheel but are finding
it will only take you so far....
  Sometimes I have free time and get in the mood for a
juicy coding project, but just can't think of one. :)
