This is what I referring to. From Matt Neuburg's book, p. 331:
"instead of working out an AppleScript scriptability implementation from 
scratch, they've simply taken the existing internal scripting 
implementation (Visual Basic for Applications) and exposed its entire 
object model, lock, stock, and barrel, to AppleScript...if you don't 
know how to drive Excel with Visual Basic it's really hard to figure out 
how to drive it with AppleScript."

I cede to your knowledge about the specifics of this, as I do very 
little with Excel from AS, and am still using v. X. I stand corrected in 
particular on driving it from Python via appscript.
