Hi Pablo,

At work I managed to remote control Internet Explorer with Excel VBA like
this...
[1] http://www.automateexcel.com/vba/automate-internet-explorer

and went looking for how similar might be achieved from Pharo.  IIUC I
discovered this would be done via Microsoft's Component Object Model, and
then I bumped into your repo...
[2] https://github.com/tesonep/pharo-com

Could you advise the status and your plans for this?  Since I see its only
a few months old I've probably stumbled onto it prematurely, but I see no
documentation or tests to discover how to use it.  So I'll curious whether
it makes something like [1] possible? And could you show how that would be
done?

P.S. For context, at work I automated IE since the intranet document
management system (OpenText) does authentication via a javascript function
in the browser, which doesn't compute with Microsoft's MSXML.DOMDocument
component.  So I use IE to do the authentication and grab the raw XML from
IE to then stuff it into MSXML.DOMDocument from which I pull the data I
need.

But I'd love to do it with Pharo instead (if I can get IT to white list it)

cheers -ben
