Problems with COM

> What does the SearchDocuments function look like ?
It is a function for our product called the TeXtML Server which stores and
indexes XML documents.  It has two arguments : a string (the query) and a
VARIANT (that should become a ResultSpace).  The  ResultSpace accesses a
twin object on the server.  This makes it improper to let a ResultSpace be
created out of the context of the SearchDocuments function.  The return
value of the function is a code indicating how the search went.

>From what I understand, the object IS created in the function.  I just don't
know what parameter to give the function and get a resultSpace in return.
