// Get a collection of partitions from a pass
var partColl = new ActiveXObject('XSI.Collection');
partColl.Items = passname + '.partitions.*';
I think most of us try to get OM pointers by first selecting something and seeing what address gets logged in the command history. A handful of XSI pointers don't easily fit this model, and partitions are one of them. These hidden objects, what I like to call "the jungle", can make working in the OM frustrating.
I think we need a section in the Wiki to expose these hidden addresses once we find them.
