Rick,
I agree with the suggested refinements to get better results from your
Google searches on the topic. Most books will also suggest you check out
the COM automation info on the Microsoft website but my experience with
successfully tracking down info by searching Microsoft has been somewhat
limited unless I had a starting point URL. I am a member of O'Reilly's
Safari online book service and that is where I get most of my reference
material.
As has been suggested, it might be easier to select a language and then
try tracking down info on COM interfaces for that language. I found a
number of references in the C# books I got from Jamal regarding using
COM with .net.
If you are comfortable with vBScript or VBA, you might try searching for
a phrase like using COM automation with VBScript and see what that turns
up.
Hope this helps.

Hi JP:
Any suggested readings on very basics of Comm Programming?
I'm having Google mess mixing Comm up with Communications. Any
Keywords, W3c Keywords or url's that might help me get started setting
up homework?
Also, if you have any tutorial url's could you let me
know?
I'm trying to find out how to get started by Googling
for now.

Rick,
I agree that this sounds promising. I just finished
reading the introduction to Window-Eyes scripting published by GW.
Exposing Window-Eyes objects through COM and letting the script writer
choose the language they are comfortable with certainly adds some
flexibility. Of course it carries the responsibility of being aware of
your audience if you are writing scripts you wish to share. I could
probably write some nice scripts in ruby or AutoIt (and will probably do
so for my own use) but for sharing, I'd want to make sure the script was
written in a language such as VBScript or JScript which I could expect
anyone to have installed. As for your question about .net managed code,
I have written other C# programs which accessed COM objects and the
intro from GW says it will be accessible from .net.
I think this was a very interesting design approach by
GW Micro and will be anxious to see how it pans out. Throwing out a
scripting framework which lets one use things like VBA, VBScript,
JScript, and so on certainly opens the door for the rapid growth of user
written and contributed scripts.

Hi Gang:
WindowEyes is getting a Scripting Language,
finally! OK, so they say it will use Com Automation and various
languages can be used with the default language VB Script.
First, I know some of you are really good with
such thingys as Com Automation having done accessibility work. Is there
some good starting points on learning to write scripts, or they say we
can use compiled programs like c++, and Com Automation?
What about the Managed Code of Vb.net?
I have always used Windoweyes but it needed some
fixes in applications like Visual Studio and some Internet Controls
weren't accessible, oh ya, java script sometimes gave it fits.
I'm kind of excited.
