Jesus (meant as an interjection)! I know I shouldn't question other people's
design choices but this is just mad. Actually it might have seemed like an
elegant way to communicate with an HTML page to the original author of that
program - I understand that - but this is just asking for trouble, IMHO.

However, I guess Object.Call() is your best bet here.
