Thanks Roger for your quick response ... I hope that I might get a
little further help ...
A quick cut and paste and run to see if this works ...

> n=win32com.client.Dispatch('NKTWABLib.NKTWAB')
> r=n.RootFolder

I get ...

I think I get this because com objects have to be "imported" ... But
this ActiveX object does not seem to have a "type lib"? ...
So I tried the following ...
import win32com.client
n=win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("NKTWABLib.NKTWAB")
print n
and I get ...
>>>
<win32com.gen_py.Nektra NKTWAB library.INKTWAB instance at 0x20367160>
>>>
Again, I tried ...
import win32com.client
n=win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("NKTWABLib.NKTWAB")
print n
r=n.RootFolder
print r.Folders.Count
and I get ...

... So, how lost am I?
Thanks for all the help.
