(Sorry, tied up this arvo so I could respond to your suggestion
earlier.)

Here's part of a debug session.

(Pdb) type(Synergy.StudyDoc)
<type 'instance'>

(Pdb) type(Synergy.StudyDoc.GetFirstTet)
<type 'instance'>

(Pdb) Synergy.StudyDoc.GetFirstTet
<COMObject <unknown>>

(Pdb) dir (Synergy.StudyDoc)

I'm pretty green with this kind of introspection (but willing to dig in
and learn). With the VBS code seems like GetFirstTet is a method of
StudyDoc that returns a variable which converted to string yields "TE1"
 etc. But that doesn't seem to be true for python.

Is there any other way I can find out what attributes etc are available
to the GetFirstTet instance?

The type library is not supplied with the app. so if my basic
understanding is correct, I can't early bind.
