Hi, Scott. I never can remember what the incantations
are to get this right, but if you trawl the various
Microsoft-oriented newsgroups (via Google, say) then
you see them littered with the corpses of people on
the same trail.

Assuming no-one on this list comes across with the
answer, check out the question on the wider web:
translating the answer back into Python is going to
be the easiest part ;)
