yes, the description of how to use it was quite clear, and i've got
it working. here's a reminder:

obj_VFPCOM     = CREATEOBJECT ( 'vfpcom.comutil'   )
int_BindEvents_Status = obj_VFPCOM.BindEvents(obj_Word , obj_WordEvents)

then in the "word-events" class wait for the QUIT event to fire.

this seems to be equivalent to "thunking" when writing C++ Windows code.
let me repeat, i really appreciate you putting me onto this technique,
because i was totally unaware of it. it promises to be useful in many
cases in the future.

thanks again,
