Lief, Thank you for being both patient and persistent!
My one question about this is that the option you add applies to Strings, which are returned from COM objects as Unicode. This would not allow binary files to be returned unless the COM object does some encoding on the file, such as Base64. Would we be able to implement this for another data type (array of byte?) that would support arbitrary files?
