   Some of my code is quite happy accessing the document object. A simple
image gallery HTA that uses document is attached to this message. The code
works with IE 6 but may have problems with other versions. I'd really like
to write a decent HTA demonstration in Python but haven't been able to think
up something that is small and useful. This demo would be much better if it
performed the search and load of image files in the background.
