methods of GetObject(...)

Hello
I often see a VBScript line like so
Set myObject = GetObject("some object"

But how do you know the methods of "some object"? Is this documented anywhere

For example, if I wanted to open up Internet Explorer and save the HTML page, how could I find if the IExplore even has these methods, something like
Set myObject = GetObject("IExplore"
myObject.URL = "www.myPage.com
myObject.SaveAs("c:\temp\myPage.htm"

Is there any way to know which methods I can call on an object from GetObject

Thanks
Mark

To search the available COM objects on your computer and their available
methods and properties, take a look at Mark Pryor's great freeware object
