 mmm, exactly what i thought - xsi complainns that the com instance has
 no attribute "Parameters" ! In the example in my first post, i must
 surround

 oTo.ActivePrimitive.ConstructionHistory.Find("hairGenOp")


 with GetValue to get it to work. The above line returns an object
 Operator (according to ClassName()), but i cannot get to the
 Parameters.Or am i just very tired?
 Thanks heaps for the reply
