So... bottom line... there is no way to COM-script XSI from outside of
the app, a la the way Photoshop CS or Excel can?

You've got to do it from within XSI.

Alright, but, is it possible to just hook into XSI just by running
a standalone .js script or do they always have to be run from
within the running instance of XSI.
I saw an example that demonstrated how a connection could be made
to Outlook and an email could be sent - this was done from within
XSI.
I am wondering if a similar thing can be done where a standalone
script can connect to XSI. I haven't fully considered the
practicality of it, but for the purpose of learning more about
programing and ActiveX objects and how different programs can work
together, I find it an interesting concept.

I am trying to have an external jscript hook into a running
instance of XSI. The SDK documenation provides the following
example:
var xsi_app = new ActiveXObject( XSI.Application );
var app = xsi_app.Application;
app.LogMessage( "Initiating NetView session" );
Do I have to set anything up or install anything before this code
works, or should it work as typed in an external jscript?
Ultimately I would like to be able to access XSI and all of its
commands, objects, methods, and properties from an external
jscript. Does anyone know of or have any examples of how this is
accomplished?
Thanks
