Scripting: How to query available Objects?

["Ponthieux, Joey" <j.ponthieux(at)nasa.gov>]

Hello,
   I am wondering if it is possible to query the available Objects 
relative to another object? I'm looking for something similar to 
classname() but what I want is something that will return all available 
Methods or Properties available to the current Object. Say for example  
I have an XSICollection oColl1, it possesses a reference to a 
CollectionItem which in turn possesses a SubComponent, etc, etc. I am 
looking for a command which will list available 
Objects(Method,Properties etc) to the current object, so in this case I 
want to know what is available to oColl1, or at least oColl1(0). 
Assuming of course that this is say a collection of points, it would 
possess other Objects such as SubComponent, SubElements, etc.  I want to 
list  these available objects directly from the script editor rather 
than having to look them up  in the manual. In other words I want to 
list  everything that will plug into

oColl(0).?

Since this is a CollectionItem which would ultimately posses a 
PointCollection then SubComponent and SubElements, among others are 
available to it, once I know that SubComponent is available I want to 
list everything under

oColl(0).SubComponent.?

and so on. I've tried NestedObjects that does not seem to do what I 
want. PropertyCollection only seems to refer to properties available to 
the X3DObject and the like. Stuff like parameters etc such as 
kine.local.posx etc and not the Object Model properties or Methods. Or 
maybe I don't quite understand how to use Property or PropertyCollection 
here. Anyway, if anyone has some insight to this it would be appreciated.
