I'm beginning to think you may have some fundamental problem.  I'm
running Python24, and I have that exact same file in my gen_py cache,
but IWalls is at line 2,063, not line 1,748.  What version of Excel is
this?  I'm running Excel 2003.

Hmmm, I'm still at Python-Win32 build 204, so there is a difference
there.  Still, there is no syntax error there that I can see.
