I haven't used this in quite some time, but if I recall correctly, it
simply follows the object model as found in Excel Help | Visual Basic
Reference, or go into the Excel code editor (alt-F11)and use the
object browser. One thing to be aware of, IIRC, is that in VB you can
leave out some default names (like .Value, .Item for collections) but
these must be explicitly referenced when called using win32com.
