I dunno if this will help, but when I got out of the "newbie handholding" of
win32lib and took on arwen, for speed reasons mainly, and found it to have many
things I really liked (speed mainly  but also many things missing, eg both
listviews and treeviews, which I ended up adding myself, *that* is the point I
started to learn. Now, and here comes the point, I still know not where to put
code - about a month ago I added a crude "drag and drop" to the filetabs. I can
tell you I did not do so by "knowing where", or reading shedloads of docs
(obviously I gathered what hints I could), but by trial and error elimination of
things.

HTH,
